Irwin Salutes Defence

Reds legend Denis Irwin believes United's defence is providing the bedrock for another successful campaign.

The Reds' backline has shipped just seven goals all season, a record Irwin attributes to opponents' fear of over-committing, together with United's relative shortage of defensive injuries.

"Our defensive record has been very good this season and that's down to a few reasons," Irwin told ManUtd.com. "One is the way that some teams have been scared to go at us a little bit because they saw last season how dangerous United can be on the break.

"Another reason is the stability that we've had there. The manager hasn't changed it round too much at the back and that really helps."

Irwin also feels the Reds' strong team ethic and willingness to help each other out has been a crucial part of such a miserly record.

"Tevez and Rooney will battle back and work hard for you as well," he said. "They're both little terriers and will work their socks off to get the ball back.

"The defenders really appreciate that – Giggsy's been doing it for years. The players are all well aware of their defensive duties and they'll all track back."

Sagnol is a bit old now?


Well said Dennis, the defence is the main reason why we have won so many matches this year with not scoring many in the earlier games this season but everybody has been talking about the striking partnership.

Vidic and Rio are the perfect combination! :D
