Ranking Manchester United's 5 best players so far this season

#3 Paul Pogba

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League

Paul Pogba, ever since the start of the current Premier League campaign, has looked sharp and back to his creative best.

In only seven appearances in the Premier League, Pogba has racked up a total of seven assists. This is a massive improvement from the measly three assists he provided in whole of last season.

His performances so far have looked to be positive and clinical. He has most often taken a place on United's left flank and has looked like his former self.

However, concerns about his defensive workrate still exist. Ole Gunnar Solskjær needs to find a better way to incorporate Paul Pogba given his strengths lie further up the pitch.

With his current displays for the Red Devils, he can surely expect to compete among the Premier League's top creators.

#2 David De Gea

Since the start of the season, De Gea has surely seemed invigorated and energized by his brilliant performances in goal for United. It comes after many had expected David De Gea to be on course for another disappointing season.

Yet his performances have come out to be some of the most important ones for Manchester United. He saved Mark Noble's injury time penalty that sealed the win for his team against West Ham United. He also kept his team alive after saving multiple shots taken by the Villareal attackers in the Champions League game.

David De Gea has surely grown in confidence this season. Another instance of his growing confidence can be seen in the media work he has been doing this season. For most of his time at United, he has seemed like a reserved character. However, he speaks like a leader in the interviews and is back to his best in goal for the Red Devils.

#1 Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United's talisman ever since he signed for them. This season has not been any different. Fernandes, with his remarkable performances in front of goal, has surely been Manchester United's best player so far.

With an opening day hat-trick against Leeds United in the Premier League, Fernandes has started the season in scintillating form for the Red Devils. He has also created the highest number of chances in the Premier League this season.

However, with United presently struggling for form, Bruno's international trip away with Portugal comes as an opportunity to re-energize himself.

Solskjær will be keen to bank on Fernandes once he is back and will expect him to get back to his scoring ways immediately.
