I was watching how Manchester play at the back when the defenders have possession. It was pure perfection. Vidic, who i didn't really think that is very comfortable with the ball, made excellent passes and even his long balls never missed the target. Ferdinand was even better.
Of course, much has to do with how the Man Utd midfielders move and how they make themselves available to recieve a pass (unlike our guys, who are easily covered, which leaves our defenders clueless), but it has more to do with Vidic and Ferdinand and their passing game, which is light years ahead of what our defenders can do.
