We all like to think of our opinion as the correct one about any opposition player going but, in all honesty, it’s foolish to disregard the testimonials of those who watch him play every week. Sport.co.uk gives you three Manchester United players who are much-maligned outside of Old Trafford but whom Sir Alex Ferguson is doubtless glad to be able to call upon…
John O’Shea – The Irishman is the kind of wily squad player that you need to win titles. United have missed his versatility this season, not to mention his knack for crucial goals, and it is to his great credit that Ferguson feels comfortable playing him pretty much anywhere, safe in the knowledge that he’ll turn in a 7/10 performance.
Dimitar Berbatov – That he is still considered to be a flop by the footballing world at large owes much to the £30m it took to prise him away from Tottenham Hotspur. When it comes to the nitty gritty of statistical analysis – love it or hate it – the Bulgarian forward has actually done well at United and his goal in the 3-1 defeat at Everton was a perfect example of how quickly his brain and feet can act concurrently.
Park Ji-Sung – Last season saw the South Korean midfielder following Darren Fletcher as everybody’s favourite “he’s underrated, he is” reference point, but he has not been quite as effective this time around. He never was the most penetrative player but non-stop running remains a strong feature of his game and, as long as Ferguson knows what he can do for him, Park can never really let him down.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
