Manchester United: 6 Players Who Will Help Secure English Premier League Title

Manchester United has some of the best footballers in the world. Many of them play for their national teams and have proven to be real Red Devils.

This year, they will help United grab its record-setting 20th Premier League title and prove why Sir Alex Ferguson was recently named IFFHS' World's Best Coach of the 21st Century.

Let's take a look to these key players...

Michael Carrick

So far, Michael Carrick has been one of the cornerstones of the club. He makes wise choices when distributing the ball and doesn't rush.

Carrick has 17 Premier League meetings this season and has scored twice. He's also helped the defense with seven blocks and nine clearances.

At age 30, he handles United's midfield with grace and power.

Jonathan Evans

After 18 appearances in this season's Premier League, Jonathan Evans has settled as a trustworthy defender.

Evans knows how to control the ball and takes his time to distribute it. He currently records 41 clearances, 18 blocks and two crosses.

Ryan Giggs

At age 38, Ryan Giggs has become one of the standard bearers of Manchester United. He knows how to secure the ball and distribute it.

He might not be a regular scorer, but he surely knows how to create goal opportunities—nine assists and 29 crosses this season speak to that.

Phil Jones

Phil Jones has made clear that age doesn't determine success. The 19-year-old defender has adjusted quite well with the Red Devils and has been a key footballer after Nemanja Vidic's injury.

Jones records 1515 minutes with United in the Premier League, which have resulted in eight blocks, one goal, nine crosses and two assists.

Despite being a centre-back, Jones knows when and how to help the offense.

Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney hasn't forgotten his abilities as striker. Wazza is the top scorer of United this season with 17 goals, five of them from the penalty spot.

He has become a link between the midfield and the forwards, distributing the ball and creating plays.

Rooney has taken his role as a leader very seriously.

Antonio Valencia

Antonio Valencia is one of the most prolific wingers in the Premier League. He sits third in the assists department, with 10.

Valencia has also helped United with two goals and 65 crosses. His physical attributes make him a strong and very fast player.
