Upon the anniversary of Martin Edwards changing the history of Manchester United the internet has been awash with “Fergie’s Greatest Xi” and “Fergie’s Greatest Signings” and it has got me thinking about some of the unsung heroes, the few that Fergie spent modest amounts on and achieved understated, almost workman like returns on his investment.
August 10, 2011 – There are more Manchester United stories in the media than any other club – some are worth reading, others are absolute garbage! How can anyone possibly keep up with them all? Truly Reds does it’s best to bring you the latest news but there’s only so much that can be covered on a daily basis. One alternative is to collate the stories which cannot be updated every day so that they can at least be brought to your attention each week
The old saying says that ’A thousand people, a thousand opinions’ applies to football more than anything. There’s absolutely no doubt that many are heavily biased, yet they cannot be totally ignored! Some are more objective than others so it does no harm to at least listen to what the ‘experts’ have to say. Whether they count for anything at the end of the day is a completely different question but they’re all part of the tension built anticipation which forms the climax for what may turn out to be an unforgettable Manchester United season.

How can anyone possibly select the most influential Manchester United player after a performance like this? There was not a single weak link in the entire 90 minutes. Edwin van der Sar showed yet again why even at the age of 40, his intended retirement should be the last thing on his mind. Others who even United fans have been critical of in the past were superb. John O’Sheas delightful reverse pass enabled Ryan Giggs to set up the opening goal for Chicharito and Ji Sung Park must have been close to being man of the match, his high energy display rewarded with a winner which was just as clinical as Didier Drogba’s equaliser. Then there was Michael Carricks composure in midfield to continue his resurgent form in recent weeks.
