Man Utd vs Real Madrid: 5 Players Fergie Must Fear

2. Mesut Ozil

24-year-old Mesut Ozil is one of the key attacking forces in the Madrid side, and his record of five goals and 13 assists proves how important he is to the side. Fergie will have to find away to stop this attacking midfielder or his side will be punished, particularly if he is allows to link up wth Karim Benzema, who will eat up the chances he puts on a plate for him. When the German international links up with Cristiano Ronaldo, the Madrid side look almost unbeatable. His influence on the pitch is clear to see and with the likes of Angel Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema there supporting him, he is clearly an important player going into this epic bout. Michael Carrick is likely to get the nod n central midfield, with more focus on defending, and it will be he who is charged with stopping Ozil from playing, as well as keeping an eye on Ronaldo when he drops deep. That is an almighty ask for anyone.
