Three key Manchester United stars who need to step-up vs Fulham

Tom Cleverley

Cleverley is the scapegoat for all that is wrong at United this season and it is no wonder as he continues to impress, week after week. It is a wonder why Moyes keeps using him – many United fans keep asking the same question.

He has no real drive from midfield and the Englishman is not capable of controlling a game by himself. Cleverley is also unable to battle for 90 minutes and win plenty of duels, proven by his poor 43% duel success rate since the turn of the year.

He’s won just five of 12 tackles and lost all four of his headed duels. He’s completed 90% of his passes in 2014 but as you can see from the passing map below, they’re all, well… sideways.

He’s also only created one chance in 2014 which just isn’t anywhere near good enough to be playing in central midfield for Manchester United.
