TOP 10 Most Influential Manchester United players

Manchester United have had a quite impressive campaign this season. Even though they sit 5th in the Premier League table, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side managed to win 12 out of played 29 games and lost just 9 times. Many Red Devils players have been essential in their side's campaign and here are TOP 10 influential players at the Old Trafford. 10. Paul Pogba Paul Pogba playing for Manchester United Getty Images Indeed, Pogba should have at least be at the top five of this list, however, the World Cup champion had missed most part of this season due to injury. Recently, Pogba has been strongly linked with a move away from the Old Trafford, mainly to Juventus and Real Madrid, however, it is not certain yet whether he leaves or not. So there is a hope that the 27-year-old will stay and rediscover his best form when he returns. 9. Scott McTominay Scott Mctominay playing for Manchester United Getty Images United academy graduate McTominay has turned himself into an essential player for the club. Despite his injuries, the 23-year-old has claimed himself to be a player of the season contender. 8. Luke Shaw Luke Shaw playing for Manchester United Getty Images Luke Shaw has gone through a tough time at the Old Trafford: a broken leg under Louis van Gaal, being punished by Jose Mourinho. However, it seems that under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the left-back is finally finding his place. Red Devils have enforced the left side of their back-four thanks to Shaw, who is now being ably supported by Brandon Williams. 7. David de Gea David De Gea playing against Everton Getty Images United's keeper remains an important and very senior player at the squad, even though things have little bit changed over the past two years, as he could be at the top of this list then. The Spaniard is a four-time winner of United's player of the season award, and there was a time when he was keeping the team together. 6. Anthony Martial Anthony Martial celebrates a goal for Manchester United Getty Images Since Solskjaer moved Martial into a more central position, the 24-year-old has thrived with the added responsibility and the space to show aht he really can do. The Frenchman has already matched his best-ever goal tally for United this season and will surely keep scoring when football resumes. 5. Bruno Fernandes Bruno Fernandes playing for Manchester United Getty Images United's newcomer has shun since his January arrival at the Old Trafford. Fernandes has performed creatively having a positive influence off the field as well as on it. The 25-year-old is massively talented and is such an exciting prospect. 4. Fred Fred playing for Manchester United Getty Images Fred has transformed into a crucial player throughout his time at the Old Trafford. He's now given Solskjaer what he wanted: a reliable linchpin in the middle of the team, an energetic metronome and a solid passer of the ball. His performances have been so impressive in the surrent campaign and he has all the rights to claim for the Player of the Year award. 3. Aaron Wan-Bissaka Aaron Wan-Bissaka playing for Manchester United Getty Images Wan-Bisska is presently considered as important as was Gary Neville. Even though he still has the scope to improve,  he steadily looks to add a more attacking dimension to his game and the signs for the future are very promising with Wan-Bissaka. 2. Harry Maguire Manchester United defender Harry Maguire during Premier League game Getty Images United's newly appointed captain has willingly shouldered the responsibility to be a leader in the United dressing room and knowing that Solskjaer handed him the United captaincy in January. That has allowed the 27-year-old to thrive as a footballer and a character. 1 Marcus Rashford Marcus Rashford playing for Manchester United Getty Images At the age of 22, Rashford has become United's most influential player. His 2019/20 goal record and the fact he's both a role model and a footballing leader make him crucial to Solskjaer's side at the Old Trafford. Rashford is a fan favourite and a hugely important footballer for Manchester United right now. Source- MEN
