5. Hes What They Need
The top teams in the world all have a player designed to break the play down, pass it on and anchor the midfield. Chelsea have Mikel, City have De Jong, Rodwell, Barry; Real Madrid have Khedira and Alonso; Barcelona have Busquets, Mascherano and Song. Its the way of modern football and these clubs are all the more solid for it, giving their more creative players freedom to roam and unhook opposition defences. The anchor role is one not spoken of often, but it is one of the most important in football, and in the Premier League there is no-one better than Tiote at the job United desperately need filling. Ferguson has to stop chasing big name strikers in a bid to appease fans; and turn his attention to the spot that needs filling. Only then will Manchester United reign supreme again.
