#2 Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial is one of the most talented young players in the Premier League. But he does lack severely in one key aspect: consistency.

The 22-year-old was brilliant during the initial months of Solskjaer's reign, but his form has significantly dropped in the last couple of months. The Frenchmen had a week to forget, putting on dismal performances against Barcelona and Everton.

The winger has the ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck, and the Old Trafford faithful would be hoping that their wonder-boy steps up to the occasion against Manchester City on Wednesday.

#1 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has been Manchester United's talisman this season. The 26-year-old has scored 15 goals and contributed another 10 assists across all competitions.

However, the Frenchman has failed to step up in recent games and was poor against Everton. Many believe that the recent interest from Real Madrid has taken a toll on his form, and that his focus is elsewhere.

Pogba needs to prove his doubters wrong by putting in a good shift against rivals Manchester City and prove that his focus is where it should be.
