15. Ander Herrera - 2016/17
Won Manchester United’s POTY award. Was our midfield engine throughout the season and had an exceptional campaign throughout.
Was also a crucial figure against the big teams. Got the assist for Ibrahimovic’s winner in the League Cup Final as well.

14. Romelu Lukaku - 2017/18
27 goals and 9 assists. Scored 5 goals in the Champions League. Was the main reason why we finished 2nd in the Premier League.
Was involved in a goal in every round of the FA Cup leading up to the final too. Our most consistent player of the season.

13. Marcus Rashford - 2019/20
19 goals and 5 assists in just 31 games. Scored an incredible 9 goals against the “Big Six” teams. One of the few shining lights in a poor season.
Could’ve been below mid-table if it wasn’t for him. Not enough to take him higher up the list though.

12. Dimitar Berbatov - 2010/11
21 goals & 6 assists. Won the Golden Boot. Got in the PFA Team of the Year. Hat-trick vs Liverpool. Scored decisive goals which won us the league.
Unfortunately faded away as the season got on and failed to deliver in the UCL. Still a top season.

11. Antonio Valencia - 2011/12
6 goals and 16 assists. Won Manchester United’s POTY award (bit undeservedly). Was the engine of our attack for most of the season.
Also scored our goal of the season against Blackburn which should’ve been enough to win us the league. Unstoppable.

16 goals & 11 assists while playing as a central midfielder. Got in the PFA Team of the Year.
Was also our top goalscorer of the season and showed world class form after Solskjaer’s arrival at the club. Very underrated season. Deserves more recognition.

7. Anthony Martial - 2015/16
18 goals & 11 assists. Came unknown. Delivered one of the most incredible seasons ever seen from a teenager.
Carried us completely throughout the season, was the one player we always relied on to deliver. Was an integral part of our FA Cup win too.

6. Wayne Rooney - 2013/14
19 goals and 22 assists in 40 Games. Averaged more than one goal contribution a game. Also broke the all-time UCL Assists record that season with 8 assists.
All this while playing in a declining Man United side with Moyes in charge.
Absolutely insane.
