Sir Alex Ferguson sat, head in hands, frenetic jaw clamping incessantly on gum that had been chewed too much. It was a pose that sent shockwaves around world football.
Manchester United, the bastion of English footballing excellence, had been battered, demoralised and wearied by the young pretender, 6-1, at home. It was a low day.
United, like United always do, have stayed strong in the wake of the cataclysm, but successive away victories over Aldershot and an impressive battling victory at Goodison has done little to sate the vultures, driven wild by the Manchester massacre.
Despite a strong start to the season in which the two Manchester clubs seemingly traded tit for tat demolitions, the midfield remains a major flaw.
United have no creative player in the ilk of City’s brilliant David Silva, who so far this season has been nothing short of phenomenal. This leads Wayne Rooney to continually indulge in more and more meaningless forays further down the pitch. For in the bright light of sky blue, for all Darren Fletcher’s industry and Anderson’s eternal potential, neither can compensate for the patent absence of this creative hub in the centre.
Here we look at five options that can revolutionise the Red Devil’s stuttering midfield.
