United’s defense slowly beginning to take shape
With seven different center half pairings having played together so far this season, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to many that United haven’t been keeping too many clean sheets. In fact, the clean sheet against Cardiff was only their seventh in the League thus far. But, to be fair, no two center halves have played together for any length of time, due to injuries and suspensions. But, with Jonny Evans staking his claim as the best center half in the club at the moment and Chris Smalling slowly growing in stature with every game, it looks as though, United are finally stumbled upon a recipe for success. This was United’s third clean sheet in their last five games and it is looking as though Moyes has finally found a way to stop leaking goals at the back.
