CM: Paul Pogba

Manchester United's performances in the Premier League have looked much better when Paul Pogba is on the pitch. The Frenchman's future at the club is uncertain but his presence has surely helped Ralf Rangnick with his tactics.

Using his box-to-box abilities and amazing creativity, Pogba orchestrates the flow of the game. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to see the best of him at United but it hasn't been that bad either.

The French midfielder has assisted nine times this season and was instrumental in United's second goal against Brighton in midweek. Given Leeds' vulnerability at the back, Pogba should be a useful asset in the game on Sunday.


CM: Scott McTominay

One of Manchester United's positive prospects since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement has been Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder has been highly rated by almost every manager to manage since.

He is definitely a powerhouse in midfield with his intense work-rate, aggression and smart tackling. McTominay is often criticized for his inability to make incisive passes, but his other parts of the game have come in very handy.

With the absence of a natural midfielder, the Scotsman seems to be the best option right now at United. He is expected to start against Leeds and if things go fine, he may be subbed off to stay fresh for the fixture against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.


CAM: Bruno Fernandes

Ever since his arrival in 2020, Bruno Fernandes has been a big player for Manchester United. His creativity and goal contributions have been immense for the Red Devils.

In just 75 Premier League appearances so far, Bruno has managed to score 34 goals and register 24 assists. Despite not being in the best of form this season, the Portuguese midfielder has scored eight goals and registered five assists.

Without a doubt, Bruno Fernandes remains a vital player for United in their aspirations to play in the Champions League next season. He will definitely start against Leeds and hopefully can come up with a goal contribution or two.
