3. Bruno Fernandes

It takes a great player to captain Man United but Bruno Fernandes is certainly up there in that calibre. The Portugal international has been at the club for a long time, since 2020 to be precise.

Since signing from Sporting CP, Bruno Fernandes has had a tremendous impact on Man United as a club. He is not without his critics, mostly due to his disciplinary issues, but these issues only reflect how much he cares about the club and the passion and desire he shows to get Man United back on the right track.

Bruno Fernandes is the third best player at Man United right now, which is quite an achievement given the depth and quality of Man United currently.

2. Kobbie Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo bursted onto the scene for Man United in 2023/24 and next season, he is looking for even more success. As things stand, he has not been involved in Man United's pre-season preparation after his extended holiday due to reaching the EURO 2024 final.

Kobbie Mainoo is an excellent and well-rounded midfielder. He is incredibly versatile but for Man United, he is best used as an all-round package. He is press-resistant, always in the right place at the right time, and carries the ball well. Not to mention his incredible final third presence, if and when required.

The Englishman came out of the Man United academy, which is bound to be a hit with Man United fans. Make no mistake about it, though, he has earned his place in the top three of the Man United power rankings, the fan popularity only solidifies his place.

1. Alejandro Garnacho

Alejandro Garnacho scored the best goal any Man United player has scored since Wayne Rooney in the Manchester derby. Technique wise, many would even argue it was better than Rooney's bicycle kick. However, relatively speaking, the bicycle kick at the start of the season was only a tiny factor of Garnacho's season.

Man United fans were understandably concerned that he wouldn't kick on but the opposite was true. In fact, he used the incredible goal as a confidence boost and he built on the momentum, having the best season out of any Man United player.

The Argentine is one of Erik ten Hag's most important players and he's become a mainstay in the Man United lineup. It is absolutely pivotal that Man United keep the sensation happy, because he is certainly a key member of the long-term project Erik ten Hag is currently working on.
