#3 Jesse Lingard (Manchester United)
Jesse Lingard is a having a great season since he was shifted into the no-10 position by Mourinho since November, and the lad looks indispensable to the squad now.
With the poor form of his team-mates and the squad-rotation by the manager, giving the local boy some game time to prove himself, Lingard seems to have embraced the opportunity and cemented his position.
The start of the season saw the player being used as a substitute in the dying minutes of the game and people started to doubt his quality. This changed when he started at Watford and gave an impressive performance, with a goal to show for his efforts.
Soon, he became a regular in the squad and his brace against Arsenal was enough to silence his haters. In the 7 games that were played in December, Lingard scored 5 times and assisted once, claiming the Player of the Month award from the club.
While his stats may not be as impressive as some other midfielders in the league, the fact that the player came into the team when it lacked creativity and made the efforts to turn things around by making tireless runs, linking play and scoring crucial goals, as seen by his last-minute equalizer against Burnley, is reason enough to put him on the list.
