#3 Luke Shaw

After a string of injuries halted his progress, Luke Shaw has finally rediscovered his mojo at Manchester United and improved massively under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Englishman, who was the most expensive teenager in the history of the game at the time, struggled under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho due to combination of issues.

However, Solskjaer's man management skills have seen him bring the best out of the former Southampton man, who looks back to his best after returning to peak physical condition.

Shaw is a reliable asset defensively and is also a good crosser of the ball, as he continues to keep new signing and Brazilian international Alex Telles out of the team.


#2 Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire has not lived up to his £80 million price tag at Manchester United, but the fact of the matter is that the Englishman is still one of the best central defenders in the Premier League on his day. The former Leicester City man has led the Red Devils rearguard expertly this season after overcoming what was a tumultuous start to the season, as he was arrested in Greece for a reported altercation with a police officer.

Maguire, however, recovered swifly from his off field issues to perform consistently for Manchester United, as he continues to establish himself as an indispensable member of Solskjaer's team. Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly have partnered the Englishman with varying degrees of success, but Maguire has consistently produced the goods this season and looks like a top class footballer.

His reputation precedes him at times, but the 27-year-old has proved that he deserves to be rubbing shoulders with the best in the business.


#1 Bruno Fernandes

Unsuprisingly, Portuguese sensation Bruno Fernandes tops the list for Manchester United. The enigmatic midfielder has taken the Premier League by storm since his big-money move from Sporting Lisbon and has been the best player in the country since his arrival.

Blessed with an incredible shooting technique and passing range, Fernandes also works tirelessly for his team and is capable of leading from the front when called upon. The Portuguese midfielder has the unique ability of scoring as many goals as he creates and has chipped in with a staggering 16 goals and 10 assists in all competitions, as he continues to lead Manchester United's title charge.

Fernandes is the frontrunner for the PFA Player of the Year award and is likely to get his hands on the prize if he carries on like this for the rest of the season.
