Are they the best ever?
These guys along with the help of O'Shea amongst others have been
more or less ever present in the league this season.
They have conceded 15 goals in the Prem this season and there are 6 games to go.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men are on course to record their leanest Premier League
campaign in terms of goals conceded.
The Reds have conceded just 15 in the league this term and, amazingly, on just
five occasions at Old Trafford - Manchester City (2), Everton, Derby, and this
weekend's opponents at the Riverside, Middlesbrough.
It's a proud record that has been equally as influential as United's attacking
exploits in firing the Reds to the top of the Premier League.
Chelsea should hang on to their record though, with just 15 goals conceded
when they won the title in season 2004/05.
That topped Arsenal's previous Premier League record of conceding just 17 goals
in a league campaign.
United's best previous attempt came in season 1997/98, leaking 25 goals.
With six games to go, the Reds will surely beat that tally, and it could be
crucial if United are to retain the title.
Do you think this is the best defence we have ever had? (stats aside)
Are there any improvements needed?
Any other comments or discussion on our back 5 would be appreciated.
