Every player is a premiership player ? well duh he's bound to be if he's on the books of a premiership team. Below is the team that played United and the premiership games he's played in and in brackets the premiership games he's started oh by the way a prize who can guess which players are usually taken off in games they start, psst it's Mancienne, Halford and Castillo. In fact Mancienne as only finished 8 games most of them being at the start of the season, Halford as only started and finished 5 with Castillo only finishing 2 games.

Foley 3 (2)
Elokobi 8 (7)
Mancienne 12 (9)
