At United, we undoubtedly have some stunning players at our disposal, some whose contribution to our success goes unnoticed... But, I have started this thread to ask all of you, who do you regard as our most important player ? Who gives the team that extra bit to push us over the finishing line and makes us what we are - the world's best football team. The main criteria for the title of our Most important player, is basically : If we sold him, we would suffer the consequences more than selling A.an other...
In my opinion,there are 3 main players who fit into our MVP category and they are : Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo... Of course we have many other stars like Berba, Tevez, Rio, Evra, Carrick etc.... I think we could certainly still be where we are this season without these guys, despite their certain quality. But, I think these 3 guys are undoubtedly the engine of the team and provide us with that essential '' Fear Factor '' , that makes us great and has put us to the pinnacle of English and world football over the last 2 years. Without them, we would be in dire straits to tell the truth.
To put them in order is definitely a difficult task, but if asked this is the way, I would go about it :
3. Nemanja Vidic : The statistics speak for themselves : 14 cleansheets and he was the mainstay in defence for that elusive record. Along with that, he has banged in 6 goals this season and one of them got us started against Chelsea - a game that many saw as the kickstart to our season. This season, Nemanja has certainly overtaken Rio in my estimation as being the main man in our highly established back four. Without him, this season, we have been quite shambolic at times. Like against Blackburn. We conceded an early goal and they had us on the rack for the majority of the second half, until Nemanja came on and steadied the ship. Also, his signing coincided with us winning a (potential) 3 in a row. I believe that his signing provided us with that final piece of the jigsaw to make us GReat. You could certainly argue a case for him being more important than the other two, and this season you would probably be right. Either way, he is an absolute neccesity for us and I hope Milan stay well clear.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo : Well what can I say, Ballon D'Or , Fifa footballer of the year, Pfa of the year twice .... The list is endless. Certainly last season, I would have ranked him as our most important player, with is stunning tally of 42 goals and all of those goals coming from a winger..... He is definetly the most talented player I have ever seen in my life and probably the greatest ''footballer'' I have ever seen. His mazy dribbles,his goalscoring ability, his set - pieces, his footwork, his sheer audacity to do the unexpected makes him a true great in modern football. He is one of the few players today that you would pay money to go and watch. All of this would make you think that he is our most important player, but I believe there is just a little bit more required to deserve that title.
1. Wayne Rooney : He is in my opinion our most vital player. When, he is missing, I literally lose all hope, he has the ability to inspire those around him by flying in for challenges and taking the game by the scruff of the neck. He never gives up what appears to others as a lost cause... His ubiquitous nature makes him invaluable to our style of play and he is the player that makes everything tick. Maybe he doesn't provide us with the sort of goal tally Ruud,Ronaldo,Cole have provided us with in the past, but I believe that an injury-free stint would sort all that. The fact, that we lost no league games with Rooney on the pitch for the 90 minutes last season, proves is colossal presence. He is in many ways the heartbeat of the team and without him we are never the same outfit. So therefore, the most important player at this club in my eyes is : Wayne Rooney.
