Manchester United's Promising Defence: Tactical Watch

Unknown Filed Under: Labels:
It looks rosy for the red half of Manchester, with Sir Alex Ferguson opting to go for youngsters this transfer window, with Alexis Sanchez still linked, but the Jones signing officially announced his intent.

The Back 4
The back 4 is looking particularly strong for the future following the 16.5 million pound signing Phil Jones. Already partner to Smalling on International U21 duty for England, this two are no strangers to how each other play and already have quite a bit of experience in the Premier League, Jones with Blackburn this year and Smalling with Fulham last year.

The twins Fabio and Rafael Da Silva also look very promising. Speed, technique and a good physical game, the pair can blossom into the Maicons and Dani Alveses of the future. Both are very attacking-minded and are often even further than Manchester United's wingers in terms of tactical positioning, so they certainly pose an attacking threat whenever they carry the ball forward.

All of the four are all not brought up in Manchester and have been brought in thanks to some scouting and some wheelin' and dealin'. The 4 are certainly players that we will have to watch in the very near future, as Vidic and Ferdinand wind down on their pretty long careers so far.

The Keeper
The signing hasn't been announced yet, but I think we all know that only one person really can be between the sticks at Old Trafford next season, and that is current Athletico Madrid goalkeeping prodigy David De Gea.

Apparently, a deal has already been brokered with the Spanish club, however De Gea claims no knowledge at all of such a deal, and not just on one occasion, on several different occasions. His move will signal a brand new dawn at Old Trafford, with his reactions and wonderful goalkeeping technique touted to be one of the best in the world at a tender age of 19.

Already singled out as a potential future number 1 for 'La Furia Roja' (Spain) for years to come as he is expected to take the number 1 jersey from Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas.
