MIKAEL SILVESTRE
MANCHESTER UNITED

A standout defender for English power Manchester United, Mikael Silvestre impressed in his very first international game for France, coming on for Marcel Desailly 20 mins from time in a match against Germany.

A technically superb defender who began his career with Rennes, he has blossomed during his time at Man. U after virtually no playing time at Inter Milan. He has played centrally for France but has shown his versatility by occasionally playing left back for United and working the flanks.
