Understated, and often under-rated, Carrick has become a lynchpin of the United engine room, enjoying arguably his best season to date in . In his debut campaign of , he carved out a formidable partnership with Paul Scholes and began to mature into one of English football's most sophisticated and classy passing midfielders. Thereafter, he confounded those who had said he would slip down the pecking order following Owen Hargreaves' arrival in . The first of Carrick's title triumphs with United was also the maiden honour of his professional career, although he did win the FA Youth Cup with West Ham in . Carrick started his career at West Ham and in moved across London to Tottenham where he blossomed into an accomplished midfielder in two seasons at White Hart Lane but the lure of United was impossible to resist as he was encouraged to head north by Sir Alex Ferguson's determination to bring him to Old Trafford. A calming influence and the master of the interception, Carrick weighs in with the occasional goal. His first was a well-taken half-volley against Aston Villa in early before a strike against Reading in the FA Cup was shortlisted for the club's Goal of the Season award. A rare brace was secured in the memorable 7-1 rout of Roma in the Champions League. Carrick's assured calmness under pressure and pin-point passing ability is, at times, faultless. Despite a clamour to add some quality to England's midfield at Euro , he had expressed a desire to retire from international football during Fabio Capello's reign - after earning 22 caps - he was able to recharge his batteries in the summer before heading off on the DHL tour in July. It is a remarkable fact that, since joining the United in , he has only lost out in a league title race by one point (to Chelsea in ) and goal difference (to Manchester City in ).

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 13 working days United beat off fierce competition from Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter Milan to secure the services of French full-back Patrice Latyr Evra on 10 January . 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 Having worked his way through the ranks at United, Danny Welbeck established himself as a first-team regular of real talent in . Capable of scoring spectacular goals, he was first handed a senior squad number for the season after starring for the Academy and Reserves. The Manchester born frontman joined United's youth set-up in summer and quickly caught the eye with his skilful, strong and pacy displays. As a schoolboy, Welbeck played a prominent role in the Under-18s' run to the FA Youth Cup final. He bagged nine goals in 14 starts for the Academy in and seven goals in 11 starts for the Reserves, including a superb hat-trick against Manchester City, as the Reds' second string won both the Manchester and Lancashire Senior Cups. His performances earned him a call up to the first-team squad for United's winter trip to Saudi Arabia. Although he missed a last-minute penalty, Welbeck impressed in his 25 minute appearance against Al Hilal.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 13 working days Petr Cech arrived in for £7 million, more than all the past goalkeepers in Chelsea history combined, with the task of challenging established number one Carlo Cudicini. He immediately caught the eye with his height, incredible reaction speed and confidence in leaving his goal-line and began his Chelsea career as Jose Mourinho's first choice. He had to be good to keep Cudicini out. A clean-sheet laden first season at Stamford Bridge was statistically the most accomplished by any Chelsea keeper - a run of minutes without conceding a goal between December and March set a new English top flight record. By the end of that season he had his first championship medal plus records for the fewest goals conceded and most clean sheets in an English top-flight season, recognised with the award of the Barclays Golden Gloves for . Though the version of the Chelsea defence was never quite as watertight as the season before, Petr continued to excel and was a major force in capturing a consecutive Premiership title. Serious injury in October cast big doubts over the future of his career, but Petr overcame a fractured skull that had required immediate surgery, 30 stitches and much rest to return just three months later. Within weeks he had recorded a seven-game run for club and country without conceding a goal, all while sporting the skull protection that has become a trade mark, and he ended the season with both domestic cups. Injuries took their toll again during , and change of management brought a change of goalkeeping coach - Christophe Lollichon, his coach at former club Rennes, joined the Blues - as Silvino Louro left with Mourinho. Despite calf, hip and facial afflictions, 6ft 4in Petr was there as we reached the Champions League Final in Moscow, making a string of vital saves before we were eventually beaten on penalties by Manchester United - his save from Cristiano Ronaldo in the shootout proving academic. After a typically consistent opening to the campaign, Petr's form, and those in front of him, took a dip around Christmas and new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari experimented with a set-piece zonal marking system which contributed to points being lost against Fulham and Manchester United, while we were nearly embarrassed in the FA Cup by Southend and then Ipswich. Scolari's exit brought about an improvement in form under Guus Hiddink, the highlight of Petr's season coming in the Camp Nou as Barcelona were kept at bay, important saves made against Samuel Eto'o and Alex Hleb. For the first season in three there were no major injury problems, with 35 Premier League appearances and an ever-present record in the Champions League. In Petr further enhanced his own reputation with a solid season and a major contribution towards a first Premier League and FA Cup Double. Individual errors were reduced, though a couple of mishaps occurred at Stoke and Aston Villa, but Petr bounced back to concede just two more in the next eight games as we entered the Christmas period on top of the league, and while a calf injury at the San Siro prevented him from participating in our Champions League second-leg defeat against Inter, causing him to miss five games, he returned for the run-in and had a big say in the direction the silverware went, earning the Premier League's Golden Glove on the final day of the season with his 17th clean sheet from 34 games. Petr kept perhaps his best for last. In the FA Cup Final he first pulled off an amazing instinctive save to prevent Frederic Piquionne from opening the scoring, and then kept out Kevin-Prince Boateng's spot-kick with his feet, moments before Didier Drogba went up the other end and scored a superb free-kick. Cech's next campaign began with a calf strain in pre-season, but he returned in time for the first league game and he would be an ever-present, surpassing the 300-appearance mark. He has since become Chelsea's highest appearing foreign player, going past Gianfranco Zola's 312. At the end of the season he was voted Chelsea's Player of the Year for the first time. A knee injury hampered the early stages of causing him to miss two games, but he was soon back between the sticks, though facing criticism with goals flying past him. He was beaten five times by Arsenal in late October, the first time we had conceded as many since , but if anyone has the strength of character to deal with such issues it is Cech, and he kept a clean sheet at Blackburn on Bonfire Night despite sustaining a broken nose in the early stages of the game, after a collision with his own defender Ashley Cole. Pre-Chelsea A precocious talent, Petr built his reputation at Sparta Prague where at the age of 19 he broke the national record for the longest spell without conceding a goal. Equally hard to beat in the Champions League, over minutes in all competitions passed without a goal. That earned a move to Rennes in France where midway through his second season he agreed to join Chelsea for the next campaign on a five-year contract. International Career At Under 21 international level Petr was a major factor in the crowning of the Czech Republic as European Champions while at senior level, Euro brought five clean sheets, a semi-final and a place in Uefa's all-star squad of the tournament. His reputation on the international stage continued to grow and he represented his country at both the World Cup in , Czech Republic's first since splitting with Slovakia in , and Euro , where it was his unfortunate late error in the group stages that saw his country eliminated. He bounced back to be named Czech Footballer of the Year for the fifth time in and although they failed to qualify for South Africa , Petr continues as team captain.

However, after leaving the pitch in the FA Cup semifinals against Tottenham Hotspur with a muscular injury, it was announced that he would miss both of the Champions League semifinals encounters against FC Barcelona, and the domestic cup final; he played, however, in the Champions League final - John Terry was also suspended for the match - appearing the full 120 minutes and converting his penalty shootout attempt as the Blues won it 4-3. On 22 September , Luiz signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea.
