#5 Luke Shaw

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League

The English left-back had a stunning 2020-21 season with Manchester United. Luke Shaw was quite impressive at the back and even more effective and participative in the attack.

His left-footed cross had an amazing whip to it, which posed a big threat in the opposition box. Although Shaw hasn't even been close to his best this term, he has the trait of dribbling past players using his pace.

Last season, the Englishman successfully dribbled 38 times with a success rate of 52.1 per cent. This season, he has successfully dribbled five times with a success rate of 45.5%. There is scope for improvement for Shaw and hopefully he brings that change soon.

#4 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League

The English right-back is often criticized for not being effective in the attack but it is not as bad as it looks. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has done reasonably well and seems to be improving.

Of course, there's a long way to go for him to reach the levels of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joao Cancelo but nonetheless, he's on the right path. His defensive abilities have been quite impressive and so has been his tackling.

Last season, Aaron Wan-Bissaka successfully dribbled 40 times with a success rate of 60.6 per cent. He's been the most successful dribbler for Manchester United this season with 21 successful dribbles, with a success rate of 60 per cent. Despite being known as more defensive compared to Luke Shaw, the right-back has been more efficient in dribbling.

#3 Mason Greenwood

Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

Manchester United have a phenomenal player in the form of Mason Greenwood. The left-footed striker has an amazing knack for scoring goals time and again.

What's even more fascinating about the youngster is his ability to score using either of his feet. The Englishman is quite unpredictable courtesy of his comfort using any of his feet. Playing on the left most often, Greenwood likes to dribble past players and take a shot.

Last season, the youngster successfully dribbled 38 times with a success rate of 52.1 per cent. Greenwood enjoyed a brilliant start to the season for Manchester United this season and has scored four goals in 10 Premier League appearances.

Although his performances have dipped recently, he has dribbled 15 times with a success rate of 62.5 per cent. Over time, he's only getting better and developing faster.

#2 Paul Pogba

AC Milan v Manchester United - UEFA Europa League Round Of 16 Leg Two

On his day, Paul Pogba is one of the most effective players on a football pitch. The Frenchman is blessed with a lot of trickery at his disposal and can deceive the opposition players in different ways every time.

His performance with Manchester United has lacked consistency but he has the capabilities to turn it around. With the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, there might be some change in his form. Despite his poor form, Pogba completed 45 dribbles successfully with a success rate of 60.8 per cent.

Manchester United are going through a difficult patch this season and to turn their season around they will need Pogba to step up. The French midfielder has successfully completed 20 dribbles this season with a success rate of 74.1 per cent. He's the most efficient dribbler in the team right now.

#1 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

Marcus Rashford is well-known for both his on and off the pitch antics. The Englishman has done a lot of social services at a very young age and at the same time, done a pretty good job playing for Manchester United.

The young forward, using his blistering pace, quick feet and trickery, can easily dribble past opponents. Rashford is devastating while playing on the left wing and can do equally well as a striker. He has been among the goals for Manchester United ever since his senior team debut and is a vital player for the Red Devils.

Last season, Rashford successfully dribbled an incredible 88 times with a success rate of 53.7 per cent. He has been sidelined with injury for the majority of the season but is now back to full fitness. Now that he's back, Manchester United can benefit from his stunning dribbling skills.
