The defender's arrival, just days after Nemanja Vidic's capture, signalled Sir Alex Ferguson's intention to shore up his defence, which had suffered in the long-term absence of Gabriel Heinze. Although only 24 when he joined the Reds, Evra had already been capped five times for France. He had been club captain at Monaco, where he established himself as a quick, committed, attack-minded player, also capable of playing at left-midfield. Evra started his career in Italy after a scout from Masala spotted him in Les Ulis, the same tough suburb of Paris where Thierry Henry grew up. After one season in Serie C1, he moved up to Serie B by joining Monza. In , Nice brought him home to France and converted him from left-winger to left-back. After two seasons he was snapped up by Monaco. He again had little trouble adjusting to the bigger stage; he was a French League Cup winner in . He then helped Monaco to the UEFA Champions League final before losing 3-0 to Porto. Patrice cites his first boss at Monaco, Didier Deschamps, as a big influence. "He transmitted to me the bug of winning at any price." After a mixed start to life at United, having joined midway through a difficult season, Patrice showed his best form during as the Reds won the Premier League title. The French defender's extra gym time paid off as he came to terms with the physical demands of playing in England, and he notched his first Premier League and UEFA Champions League goals against Everton and Roma respectively. His part in United's successful season was recognised by a slot in the PFA Team of the Season, as voted by his Premier League peers. Patrice made the left-back berth his own during , missing only eight games in the triumphant Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns. The Frenchman's form and fitness were crucial to the parsimony of the defence, and he brought balance and abundant energy to the Reds' fluid, attacking wing play, even if he did not score any goals himself in a glorious season. After signing a four-year contract extension in June to keep him at the club until the summer of , he carried his fine form into the campaign, playing his part in helping the Reds break the Premier League clean sheet record, as well as collecting his third winners' medal. While Wayne Rooney's goalscoring exploits deservedly earned him the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, Evra was an impressive performer throughout and deservedly received an honourable mention from Sir Alex at the end of the campaign in which he started all but one of United's 38 league games. Patrice was named in the PFA Team of the Year and he capped a memorable campaign by skippering the Reds to Carling Cup glory in February . He was a near-ever-present in , too, playing in 35 games in United's triumphant league campaign, scoring once. Midway through the season, the left-back signed a contract extension to keep him at Old Trafford until at least the end of the campaign.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 13 working days Ashley Young's emergence as a major influence with Fabio Capello's England showed the livewire forward is made for the big stage. Having unluckily missed out on the World Cup squad with Shaun Wright-Phillips getting the nod instead, his stock grew to such an extent that there was a minor outcry when he was only on the bench for June's Euro qualifier with Switzerland. As if to ram home his point, he scored a superb equaliser in the Wembley clash and picked up the man-of-the-match award for his 45 minutes' work. By then, Sir Alex Ferguson's mind had been made up and a deal was announced with Aston Villa later in the month as the former Watford winger only had a year left on his contract with the Midlanders. Young's career has been on a steadily upward curve after suffering the blow of being on the brink of being released as a youngster at Vicarage Road. He showed great courage and tenacity to force the Hornets to change their mind, and prove them hopelessly wrong, and became subject of a bidding war - eventually won by Villa in . The fee, rising to almost £10million, was declared far too steep by those supposedly in the know but it soon started looking like a bargain. Flourishing at Villa Park, he won the PFA Young Player of the Year award and was declared 'world class' by manager Martin O'Neill after one sensational performance against Everton. After fulfilling his potential with Villa, a World Cup place seemed a certainty only for coach Capello to look elsewhere but the player's response - as to his early setback at Watford - shows he has character in abundance. Earning a more responsibility in a central attacking role, he racked up the assists and goals in his final campaign for the Midlanders and was one of the Premier League's most productive performers. By signalling his desire to make the step up to Champions League football and deciding not to sign a new deal, it became obvious that he would move on with several top clubs keen on his signature. United pushed hard to land their target to hand him the bigger stage he craves. The man who famously went to school with Lewis Hamilton in Stevenage is now firmly in football's fast lane.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 13 working days Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain is an English footballer who plays winger for both Arsenal and the England national football team.  He first rose to prominence with Southhampton, playing as a 17 year old in the season, before joining Arsenal the next year.  With Arsenal, he became the youngest English goal scorer in the history of the UEFA Champions League, and became a regular on England’s Under-21 team.  He’s earned the nickname “Ox” – not just for his name, but for the powerful playing style and physical tenacity he regularly displays. He made his Arsenal dispute as a substitute in an 8-2 loss at Manchester United on 28 August , becoming the 150th man to represent Arsenal in the premier league.  He scored his first goal for the team in a League Cup match against Shewsbury Town the next month, on 20 September .  It was his performance in the UEFA Champions League that drew the most critical acclaim – former Arsenal captain Robin van Persie described him as the future for both Arsenal and England. Oxlade-Chamberlain made his debut for the senior England side on 26 May , a 1-0 win against Norway.  He was a surprise addition to the England squad for Euro , making him the second youngest player ever to represent England in the Euros. He was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year after his first season in the Premier League and, although he did not win, seems set to be a key player in English football for years to come.

Rafael is a full Brazil international and settled quicker than his twin Fabio after making his debut against Peterborough in Barry Fry's testimonial back in August, . It was soon evident United had a ready-made first-teamer on their hands, even though he was only 18 at the time. Finally, it was the end of one long journey from his former Brazilian club Fluminense, and the start of a new one with United. What made Rafael's debut all the more startling was that he hadn't played for over a year. The Reds had been waiting for international clearance on the pair's transfer from Brazil, so they had been unable to turn out for United during that time and, in fact, didn't play any regular competitive football. Both brothers were spotted by Les Kershaw, then Academy Manager, in the summer of while playing for Fluminense in a Hong Kong youth tournament. Rafael seems dauntless, and his ten-minute cameo on his competitive debut against Newcastle appeared to back up that claim, as did his first goal in a red shirt - a stunning last-minute volley in the defeat at Arsenal in November . He quickly began stringing together top-level performances, displacing fit-again club captain Gary Neville and England international Wes Brown at various stages of the campaign. Rafael copes with high-pressure matches with a calm which belies his tender years. Sir Alex Ferguson handed Rafael a two-year contract extension before the defender had even completed his first season in England. The Brazilian ended with a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, and a place on the bench in the Champions League final, just a year after watching from the stands in Moscow.
