We've seen the Jekyll and Hyde of Manchester United this season. But the Frenchman has been at the heart of everything positive that Jose Mourinho is witnessing in his third season at the helm. He's scored seven times in all competitions, six of which have come in the league. With Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez failing to fire, Martial has taken over the talismanic mantle and carried this bunch through thick and thin.

#8 Achraf Hakimi (Borussia Dortmund)

Frustrated by the lack of game time at Real Madrid, Hakimi arrived at Dortmund for a loan spell and in an attempt to nurture his talent. On current evidence, it's going great as the Moroccan left-back has already pulled trees with his new side despite being played out of position.

Hakimi has proved to be a real attacking outlet down that wing, bursting forward at will without ever compromising with his defensive duties. He was on target on his debut in the 7-0 hammering of Nurnberg and has assisted six times so far in all competitions, including a hattrick of assists in the 4-0 laugher over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

#7 Reiss Nelson (Hoffenheim)

The 18-year old became the latest promising teen from Arsenal to be loaned out, and so far has made quite an impression in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim. Despite starting only four games, Nelson has accrued six goals in the league. And manager Julian Nagelsmann has started him in the midfield as well as a forward, a testament to the youngster's versatility. Besides his attacking threat, he also possesses great passing range and has completed an impressive 88% of his passes.
