But aren't they all supposed to be ball winners? Man Utd manage okay without one specific scrapper.
They're all scrappers. And if Fletcher hadn't been crocked they'd probably won the whole thing.
Citys midfields packed with scrappers.
That's my point, the entire team has to be capable of winning the ball back regardless of where their talents lie.
A midfield of Scholes/Giggs-Carrick-Nani-Valencia doesn't look like they could roll their sleeves up but they do. I don't see why we need an allocated ball winner as long as everyone else does a good job.
They've won the league without Fletcher anyway, doubt he'd get into the side last year either because they needed creativity in their midfield more than anything.
