#3 Ander Herrera
You just cannot write Ander Herrera off. Fred's arrival was supposed to be the end of the Spaniard, yet the irony is that Herrera has been the best midfielder in the United team in the recent weeks. In fact, he has been so good that Pogba's relegation to the bench has had no impact on the team. While the Spaniard might not be as talented as the Frenchman, it is what he brings to the table that separates him from the rest.
Herrera is the terrier on the field, the mad dog that Mourinho desires. He is always busy, always closing down the opposition and slotting in effortlessly alongside his defenders to provide the steel in the middle. He has the highest tackles among all United players, even though he has started just 5 games and was involved from the bench in 4 others!
Only Ashley Young has more interceptions - 23, than Herrera, who has 21. It is clear that no current player can match Herrera's energy in the midfield and he is a vital component of the United team right now. But there is something else about Herrera that will have Liverpool worried ahead of Sunday.
The Spaniard is extremely intelligent and is the unsung leader on the field. His ability to improvise and take quick decisions makes him an asset to Manchester United and if Herrera is allowed to play his natural game, Liverpool will be in trouble.
