...are three of the most liked United players and have been through it all, and are
still going.
However, age catches everyone and all three are entering an era when fresher
legs are looking to push the stalwarts out of the first team.
Gary has to contend with, 07/08 seasons automatic right back and a bloody good
stand in for Gary, Wes Brown...
Ryan has the task of keeping Nani, Ronaldo and Park out of his way on the left
side...
Paul has the talents of Anderson, Fletcher, Hargreaves and a few others to
contend with...
Question is...who will go the distance?
Who will keep the performances up longest of the three, and stay in the first
team.
All three have shown signs of aging in the last few months, with Gary not being
able to retain full fitness, Ryan being kept out of the side and not at his best
when he does play, and Paul always seems to pick up a lengthy injury once he
returns.
For me, Scholsey will be the stand out. Once h comes back, he is more then able
to hold his own in midfield and can control the games and tempo.
Ryan and Gary are really going to have to bust a gut to keep their places IMO. Its
sad in one way to see it, and in another way very good as there's others capable
of playing the respected roles.
Discuss...

Edit;
Also, do you think that any of them will stay either in the game, or
involved with United once they do hang up their boots, likE former team-
mate of the threesome, Ole did with the reserves.
And if yes, what roles do you see?
Theres always been reports of Gary doing coaching and that Scholsey is
interested in management...
