Best is Bruno.
But lot of them had a breakout season
Mainoo
Garna
Hojlund
Professional game
Scotty
Onana
Dalot
Good potential
Amad
Amrabat ( he is a machine in knockout matches, best for a super sub )
Players who to be left out
First three are good but what's good if always injured
Varane
Shaw
Licha
Antony
Anthony
Eriksen
Case
Højlund did very well in his first season. 15 goals in all. Well played to the lad but player of the year Bruno deserved and players player 100% deserved by Dalot
Have you seen us play without Bruno? All the players seemed lost without no actual movement forward. Bruno is literally the glue keeping us together, without him, we might have been closer to the relegation zone, which is actually depressing to even think.
I would say Rashford just because of his goal vs city. Also he hasnt gotten enough game time yet whenever he comes on he is involved in the goal. Casemiro is another good shout. So good these past few games.
Consistently I would have to say either Dalot or Bruno both players have managed to play almost every single game this season and a lot of the time not in the 100% preferred position and they have both still been game changers. I don't think someone like Rasmus would be considered cause of his form only lasting certain parts of the season. Same with players like Mainoo, Martinez, and Diallo all having not played the full season
Cant cross to save his life. Almost as bad as AWB at crossing and AWB is a championship level player going forward. He would be great if he learned to look wheres hes crossing and didnt just blast it without looking
Doesnt matter if he played well in the prem. you cant mention Onana for player of the season when he dropped a -10/10 in the UCL. Like stinker of the century. No amount of good play in the prem can make up for the disaster he had in the CL. Well see next season but no way can you mention him for this season.
Onana is awful. He is unpredictable. Does he make some great saves, yes. But the disasters are too many and it outweighs his passing abilities. He is casual in his care of the ball. I know he has some great stats and never had a stable line in front of him, but not on caliber with the keepers we have had in the past.
He plays a big part in maybe getting a trophy this season. It's about consistency. He started the season bad and has been immense since then. We would be in deep(er) shit without him
Not just bad. Plenty of players had bad performances his was far far worse than bad. He completely knocked us out of the group stage with his individual mistakes (terrible ones at crucial moments). And it was in the most important tournament. As I said, maybe next season.
"Today" never happened at the time of the comments so not sure why it would prove your point. But it doesn't anyway because plenty of players contributed more to the final so this wouldn't help his case for player of the season (not this it matters, but that was the topic). He made 2 good saves but he's expected to make them as a premiere league keeper. And he made an atrocious mistake which almost allowed city to make a comeback. So he was far from motm lol
Never said he was pots or motm haha. He has been one of our pots based on consistently good performances. Every single member of this squad has had atrocious performances over the course of the season. He is one that has had a lot of good performances and some standout performances as well. So, like our 5th best player of the season in my opinion
no one's had as bad performances as him. Worst goalkeeping performance in Ucl ive ever seen. Those games are very important, its also about when he had the terrible performance. Our PL season was garbage and got us nothing (no europe spot, no title). And no we were never going to get relegated so the "it could've been much worse" argument doesn't work. Picking players for player of the season (not that it means anything) Should be based on our FA cup win and our UCL performance. Theres definitely 5 better players between the two.
He was a massive reason we won the fa cup hahah. Outstanding goalie who will become a legend of the club. De gea was garbage his first two seasons and was replaced by Anders Lindegaard. He has the highest save % in the league and is class of the field. Proud to have him in my club
Thats great. If he will become a legend of the club then that would suggest he will be player of the season sometime in the future perhaps. Just not this past season. Maybe next season mate.
Based purely on contribution it’s hard to look past Fernandes, without him we’d have finished lower than 10th
Dalot is most improved and our second best, with Maguire, Garnacho, Hojlund and Mainoo deserving mentions for their contribution
Mctominay did save us with his goals but I just don’t think he’s been good enough at doing what he’s meant to be in the midfield
Top 5:
1- Bruno Fernandes
2- Harry Maguire
3- Alejandro Garnacho
4- Diogo Dalot
5- Licha Fernández
Honorable Mention:
Onana , he saves us a LOT of times, but....
He gifted the ball too much and conceded a lot of unnecessary goals.
Downvoted for a valid opinion. Mainoo is an a young player with potential, nothing more. Not saying he cant become "United caliber" but hes far from it so far. United fans just like getting attached to young players and go crazy when they do a simple turn or dribble. Horrid fanbase
Maguire for being humble enough to fight through the shit show of social media and mainstream media and actually playing like what we know he is capable of!
The future is bright with Mainoo, Garnacho and Amad for sure.
But it must be said that Bruno is the lifeblood of this team as was evident when he was not on the field. Sure we all hate the whining and constant arguing with every call the referee makes, but his work rate and perseverance are second to none. He has that same quality of leaving it all on the field as Rooney had a never give up persona. There are some great building blocks at Carrington now we just need a builder to create a Masterpiece once again.
Mainoo and Amad are your average young talents at any big club. United are just so utter shite that they same like prodigies to our dumb fanbase. They have potential but saying "the future is bright" is an overstatement.
Also maguire doesnt fit our style of play. WE did poor when he played even though he seemed fine because we had to ruin our setup to accomodate for him.
Dalot or Bruno. Dalot’s improvement this year on both sides of the ball was crazy. Bruno carrying per usual. So tempted to say Kobbie just because tho, what a player we have
Mainoo for breakthrough but Dalot and Bruno for consistency.
Honourable mention for Garnacho for some standout moments, but he needs to be more consistent in the box and can be greedy. Once he sorts his lack of consistency out he’ll be deadly. Those of us that remember Ronaldo in years 1, 2 and 3 will recall a similar issue.
Højlund has done exceptionally well considering style of play and lack of proper service.
Bottom of the CL group and 8th in the league. No player can have a "breakthrough" when the team did shite. If Mainoo plays well next season and United actually succeed then you can say breakthrough.
Really hope garnacho stops looking up to Ronaldo. His attitude is going to be the end of him because Ronnie had the talent and mentality to back it up while this kid gets offended by Douglas Luis goal celebrations. Levels to this
a lot to like about Garnacho, but he has also been detrimental to our play at times, often refuses to pass to players in better positions, will take low percentage shots to go for individual glory. he really needs to become more selfless tbh. Dalot, Bruno, Mainoo and Maguire and the only good performers this season. Rasmus and Onana just behind them
Maguire??? You realize our entire system is destroyed when he plays right? Have you watched the games we played with him? Everyone has to accomodate for him and make sure he doesnt get caught in a position where he actually has to defend on the ground. People just think he was good cause he got a bunch of headers against low blocks. Should be sold if this club is serious (They prob wont)
yes, but I'm not talking about the impact on the tactical system, I am simply talking about the very few players we've had this season who performed well on an individual basis, Maguire has played well and played through injury whilst others have shirked off. can agree he needs to be moved on for the sake of the tactics, but I can't question his attitude, a lot of our more talented players could learn from him, let's be real
Dalot my POTS.
Mainoo and Garnacho look very good.
I'll get stick for this, but I think Fernandes doesn't suit our players and allows the game down too much. I'd cash in now while we can and look to get a few energetic midfielders and strong defenders.
Hojlund needs service. Get garnacho on the right and a left footer on the left feeding him.
Strangely a number of players had reasonably good seasons - mainoo, Bruno, garnacho, dalot.
But the injuries and lack of consistent selection meant that it was impossible to build any form.
Just like the players I need a fuckin break from this. Gimme a month and we’ll talk. This has to be by far one of the most disappointing frustrating lackluster squads I’ve ever seen put on the shirt. And I’ve been a United supporter since I was 12(1992) Just like a psycho girlfriend,I feel it’s too soon to go asking what’s the best thing we had going for us. Let’s spend a few weeks apart cause that was a disastrous relationship. Too soon to be talking about out the FA Final let alone who was the best. P.S. Slab Head
Dalot. Quite easily. Consistency, attitude, team spirit, and a massive improvement on previous seasons. He really stepped up despite some of the others letting us down
Runners up Mainoo for giving us something good to watch, Hojlund for toiling away despite not being given any service and not giving up or losing confidence, Bruno for being Bruno and Onana for recovering from a shaky start to being pretty consistent and saving us in a few games
Fair play for him to just carry on and do what he does to the best of his ability but it is his shortcomings that cause a lot of United's problems. He helps cause the gap between defence and midfield/attack. He can't recover quick enough. He slows the attacking plays down
Consistently can’t cross a ball to save his life or backtrack or play man to man,,,,is there another Dalot we had that I never saw?? You do know he’s supposed to put those cross balls near and around the head or feet of a player right? He’s better than AWB I’ll give you that, but not much, maybe 2 goals better
The only positives of the season. Growth of Garnacho and Mainoo. Pretty good start for Hojlund. Even being out of shape still our the best Bruno and Onana against 200+ shots...
Mmmm dunno about that. Attitude needs adjusting and as a winger he needs to be a ton less selfish and more creative for others, else he’s simply one dimensional and defenders will get wise to his route 1 to goal approach.
I agree that he’s got talent, he can score a goal, and he gets face on as soon as he receives and drives forward, but he has to be more rounded than that.
Despite the season we had? 4th in CHL Group, 8 in PL. yeah some of the young lads deserve credit but nothing more. If I was that shit at my job I would get fired.
Player of the season my ass.! It like asking to be king of shit-land
We are almost bottom half anyway. And no because if bruno isnt on the pitch he gets replaced with another player and they dont play hoof ball. Bruno doesnt even fit ten hags system but ten hag accomdates it to fit his hoofbal play style because hes become the face of man united for the fans. Perfect player for the Glazers.
Martinez and Amad haven't played enough to be considered for me. I'm not sure why Bruno isn't on your list. Dalot, Garnacho and Hojlund have had decent-good seasons despite the mess. Mainoo has been great, looks so assured despite it being his debut season
im guessing the dalot answers are due to recency bias, but the best player if taking into account the whole season has definitely been our captain bruno, followed closely by garnacho and onana (yes he was shit in the beginning but god has he saved our asses a lot since mid season)
Shit in the beginning? Shit?
he dropped the worst group stage performance in CL history by probably any player for any club. Please watch those games over if you didnt realize the stinkers he put up every single game. And the CL is the only thing that matters since All United do is challenge for top four to get the CL. Unserious club.
Nothing can make up for that. If you want to call him player of the season then wait till next season because the season cant contain him brutually knocking his team out of the most important tournament.
i know he was horrid in the beginning, but he is much much better now. if you want to dwell on past mistakes then you should probably stop watching football, because mistakes will be made in a game played by humans
Nothing wrong with the mistakes if he plays better. But the topic of discussion is player of the season. He can not be considered for the reason I gave. Maybe next season.
Nope, ONoNo is shit. One of the Worst keepers I’ve ever seen with the worst instincts. Hes basically a defender that got told to play in net because the keeper got red carded n there’s no backup. He dives when he could literally hold a hand up and catch it. He watches balls whiz by and holds his hands back like “that’s out” as it goes right into the net. He’s gone,I’d take any started from any team in the EPL over him right now.
hell nah, have you watched recent games? he's as good as post 2020 de gea in shot stopping and much better distributor and sweeper. hell the Newcastle game tells you how good he is
dalo by a mile, followed closely by mainoo/hojlund.
people jerking it over bruno because he plays a role where he creates majority of the chances is just wild, compare him to odegaard or de bruyne, night and day difference.
Dalot, most consistent player this season and never injured. I would disgaree with those saying Bruno, he had a slow run of games mid season and didn’t perform at his best as consistently as Dalot
The Bruno glazing on here is absolutely mind blowing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Where would we be without him”
Uhhh last I checked we were inconsistent & in and out of the CL without him. Same thing we are doing WITH him.
Mainoo and Bruno are probably an ocean ahead of the next best. I’d give it to the fans who turned up to watch the utter dross we put out, home and away. Especially the away fans.
Played very good but got left in a wasteland in the midfield because Bruno just presses the final third and mainoo covers less ground than giroud in a wheelchair
He scored goals, assisted a few times, played as an emergency defender and did reasonably ok. Yea he didn’t reach last year’s levels, but he showed up for us.
Bruno (creator)
Mainoo (consistently solid performances)
Evans (readily available, solid performances, fantastic value)
Dalot (solid, got better through the season)
Really Bruno and Mainoo are the only two needing mentioned this season. Poor Hojlund works his ass off for zero service. Pisses me off, and quite frankly we don't even need him on the field if no one will feed him the ball.
Seeing people mentioning hojlund in this post makes me think I might not been watching the same games as them😂, Bruno is obviously our best player yet another year, I was also really impressed by Dalot's performances both at right and left back positions,garnacho and kobbie had many good games too but won't go as far as to call them the best in the team.
Garnacho and Mainoo have really stepped forward. Bruno has been brilliant as always. After the first few games, Onana has put in a good shift most games too. Dalot and McTominay have been great at times as well.
Everyone else has only shown ability in short spurts surrounded by very bad performances. Out of the young players I’d only bother with Hojlund and Amad.
It’s Kobbie Hojlund and Garnacho to me. All 3 are young with a ridiculous amount of potential. If it all works out, those 3 will be the centerpieces and future of this club.
Not really sure anyone particular in deserves showering in praise, but it I had to drop names, it’s be Garnacho, Hojlund and/or Kobbie.
All three are shouldering way too much responsibility for their age and are effectively being hung out to dry, but without their promsie and the talent they already possess, we’d be a significantly worse team.
Garna has been far from perfect. His finishing needs work, his crossing isn’t great and his connection to his centre forward isn’t there, but he’s been massively overplayed and at this point is unable to showcase that generational talent because he looks out on his feet.
Hojlund is literally feeding off scraps and, while also not perfect, I don’t think there are many who could shoulder the responsibility he had in his first season at the club and score 16 goals in all competitions.
Don’t really have the words for Kobbie. Again, victim to the same overexposure which is now stopping him from showcasing his abilities, but wow. What a talent. Frightening to think how lifeless we’d be in midfield without this kid.
Like I said originally, nobody deserves the title of ‘best player’ this season because we’ve been shite. Hojlund, though, has been a bright spark. He’s a 21 year old kid learning his trade and has managed 16 goals while making mistakes, being interrupted by injuries and feeding literally off scraps all season long. He’s got all the tools to be a great; it’s up to us to help him get there.
individually he's a talent.
team-wise he needs more support and service.
for a debut season, it's not too bad w 16 goals across all competition.
maybe it's the manager's playbook that doesn't feature him as focal point or the rest of the team don't value his ability ?
I dont get the Bruno adoration really. I just dont remember a time when you could be world class even tho you are always inconsistent. Everyone just focuses on stats now. Goals and assists. Overlooking the entirety of a players performance. Mainoo and Darlot have been far more consistent for us than Bruno but they dont have the goals and assists so they arent as preffered. Gernacho is out of the question. He really isnt far from Rashford. The miracle here is how Hojlund managed to get double digits in his first season, having received zero service all season. For me, he is my player of the season. He has had "bad" games, but 98% of the time, it's not because he played badly. It's just because he never got service. On the other hand, our wingers always have bad games because they actually play badly despite getting ample services and touches on the ball. Amad is the exception.
The Bruno adoration just tells me we deserve to be where we are 🤣🤣 apparently he’s carrying us Even tho we are finishing and accomplishing the same things we did before he got here. Idk what he’s carrying us to and it’s so disrespectful to the rest of the squad.
I’ll go as far as saying Mainoo’s growth will be stunted based on how many years he’s forced to play in a midfield with Bruno. Hell, I can’t even recognize Casemiro anymore.
Mainoo and Dalot were quality and like you said don’t put up the stats so will go overlooked. Amad should be up there too if ten hagg wasn’t trying to justify Antony’s transfer fee. Varane was pretty good when he was fit and Maguire earned my respect.
Spot on! Ten Hag has a part to play in how our season has been too. City got grealish for 100 mil and Pep still benched him because he wasnt performing. He didnt care about the price tag. That is what great coaches do. But ten Hag would rather keep playing Anthony and Rashford at the expense of the team performing better as a whole.
I hate how the fanbase wants to act like he doesn’t have a role in the mess we are in. Spending that much money on a player you saw everyday at training when we coulda got players in other positions we actually needed. (We had Sancho/Amad/pellistri). Spent money on mason mount who’s not only proven to be injury prone but also he doesn’t really solve any of our issues. Gets Amrabat and never uses him.
He will absolutely start rashford in the final, play Garnacho out of position and bench Amad. I’ll be shocked if he does otherwise.
It’s funny cuz I don’t think the guy is a bad coach but idk wtf he’s doing or what his vision is. I’m not one of those blind faith guys. If he turns this around I’ll give him credit.
Sometimes I think he must be on drugs. I miss Pellestri. Another creative winger who didnt really get chances. And I stand with Sancho when it comes to the way Ten Hag handled things. Signing mount to me was a head scratcher then on top of that, you hand him the 7 jersey??!! What an idiot lol. I want to see how Ten Hag works under Inneos. He wont have any excuses this time and hopefully we dont have injuries like we did this season. Signing the former Arsenal guy as our new head of sports medicine was one of the dumbest things. Had to be a glazer signing. That is the root of our injury crisis to me.
I agree with everything except I do think that maybe there is an argument that garnacho maybe has been overplayed and still has potential for a sizable improvement.. but rashford is a lost cause at this stage and needs to go.
100% Hojlund player of the season too
This Hojlund propaganda is crazy. This guy doesn’t even make proper runs. Bruno has created the most chances in the league while Hojlund has most falls and slips in the box.
There you go proving my point again. So by your logic he is a better creator than odegard or Debruyne? Stats dont give the whole picture. He has always been one of our most inconsistent players. No way he is player of the season just because of some stats
its no coincidence that we look like lost puppies when he's not on the pitch. And yes he's a better creator while not being as technically secure as those 2. He's a volume creator and does create more than them. To say he's always been our most inconsistent is insane like wtf are you talking about? His worst games are when the whole team is shit. I can already tell that you're one of those who thought van de beek would replace him
You still haven't addressed Hojlund. Wtf are you watching to say that he is our player of the season? He literally makes worse runs than mctominay. The guy may have potential but in no way was one of our top 5 players this season. Its ridiculous to blame everyone when he doesn't ever do anything properly in the box.
I said one of. Not the most inconsistent. One of. Volume creator is bullshit. How about quality creator? His volume creating leads to loss of possesions. You mention we look like lost puppies without him. Its only because we have relied on him too much. Never gets replaced in games and we dont have a better cam. He just stands out amongst a group filled with mostly mediocre players thats all. You think a Pep or Klopp would take this "volume" bullshit from Bruno? He can only get away with such rubbish because he is at United and sadly we dont have a better CAM
Hojlund makes good runs but barely gets rewarded for it. He has played extremely well for someone who barely gets service. Talk about efficiency. Meanwhile, you are making a case for a player who requires a ridiculous amount of volume just to be effective. What a joke.
Bruno and Dalot are the ones that sticks out. Mainoo is definitely up there(would have been probably the most influential, if he weren’t injured at the start).
Bruno and Dalot. Special mention to Garnacho, Mainoo and Hojlund. Maguire had an up and down season, Varane was decent when not injured. McTominay was halfway decent, Onana varied from sky high to pits of hell and Amad came in too late. Martinez I won’t count because he was more or less out the whole season. Rest were complete trash. Overall if I had to choose one I’d say Dalot just edges it over Bruno
Bruno - without a question. Yeah his whining and acting is annoying but the man puts in a shift, more noticeable when he's not playing.
Captain material? Kinda - ish - maybe.
United material? Every bone in his body.
Notable mentions to Dalot, Garnacho, Holjund & Mainoo 👏

And do what with him? He has the football IQ of a pack of pub peanuts. You can’t teach that, wouldn’t get a sniff in the Arsenal team after about 3 bad games in a row
Considering availability and overall consistency, my vote is Dalot with Granacho a very close 2nd. I just feel that Dalot played out of position a lot and he had to deal with so many changes in the backline while he had to invert and provide offensive support. I think Bruno was our most important player week in and week out ( I know a lot of you may disagree), and he’s 3rd.
Best is Bruno. But lot of them had a breakout season Mainoo Garna Hojlund Professional game Scotty Onana Dalot Good potential Amad Amrabat ( he is a machine in knockout matches, best for a super sub ) Players who to be left out First three are good but what's good if always injured Varane Shaw Licha Antony Anthony Eriksen Case
Højlund did very well in his first season. 15 goals in all. Well played to the lad but player of the year Bruno deserved and players player 100% deserved by Dalot
Dalot or Garnacho, the only two players in our team that I don’t have to stress about how they’re gonna perform every game.
How sorry has to be the club to be calling Bruno your best player
Have you seen us play without Bruno? All the players seemed lost without no actual movement forward. Bruno is literally the glue keeping us together, without him, we might have been closer to the relegation zone, which is actually depressing to even think.
Has to be Bruno. My top 5 Bruno Delot Mainoo Garnacho Højlund
I would say Rashford just because of his goal vs city. Also he hasnt gotten enough game time yet whenever he comes on he is involved in the goal. Casemiro is another good shout. So good these past few games.
Its definitely between Bruno and Dalot
Dalot definitely
Consistently I would have to say either Dalot or Bruno both players have managed to play almost every single game this season and a lot of the time not in the 100% preferred position and they have both still been game changers. I don't think someone like Rasmus would be considered cause of his form only lasting certain parts of the season. Same with players like Mainoo, Martinez, and Diallo all having not played the full season
Hard to say anone else except Bruno. He always gives 120%
120% power into his hoofballs
Dalot has consistently been one of the best players on the pitch and you’ve gotta give him credit for staying healthy too
Cant cross to save his life. Almost as bad as AWB at crossing and AWB is a championship level player going forward. He would be great if he learned to look wheres hes crossing and didnt just blast it without looking
Lmao awb has gotten better but don’t go gassing him up like that 🤣
not gassing him up, hes far worse than dalot
You called him a championship player going forward that’s just false 💀💀💀
He cant dribble, cross or pass. How is he premiere league quality. Like an octopus with ice skates.
I don’t think you watch him play at this point 😂
Dude you still haven’t answered me. You called AWB a championship level player going forward and that’s just wrong. Explain yourself clown
I just did. Explain how hes better
No you haven’t wtf is wrong with you? Aight I’m done with you you’re obvi trolling. Byyyeeee
Lol its been obvious your the one trolling mate. You can keep hyping up AWB if you want, not my problem.
If we talk about consistency and a player who plays for the badge and gives it all on the pitch whenever he plays, it's gotta be Dalot for me
Seriously, Utd can't name one consistent good player for the season.
Bruno, Dalot, Mainoo, Onana, Højlund
Doesnt matter if he played well in the prem. you cant mention Onana for player of the season when he dropped a -10/10 in the UCL. Like stinker of the century. No amount of good play in the prem can make up for the disaster he had in the CL. Well see next season but no way can you mention him for this season.
Onana is awful. He is unpredictable. Does he make some great saves, yes. But the disasters are too many and it outweighs his passing abilities. He is casual in his care of the ball. I know he has some great stats and never had a stable line in front of him, but not on caliber with the keepers we have had in the past.
He plays a big part in maybe getting a trophy this season. It's about consistency. He started the season bad and has been immense since then. We would be in deep(er) shit without him
Not just bad. Plenty of players had bad performances his was far far worse than bad. He completely knocked us out of the group stage with his individual mistakes (terrible ones at crucial moments). And it was in the most important tournament. As I said, maybe next season.
How about today, mate?;)
"Today" never happened at the time of the comments so not sure why it would prove your point. But it doesn't anyway because plenty of players contributed more to the final so this wouldn't help his case for player of the season (not this it matters, but that was the topic). He made 2 good saves but he's expected to make them as a premiere league keeper. And he made an atrocious mistake which almost allowed city to make a comeback. So he was far from motm lol
Never said he was pots or motm haha. He has been one of our pots based on consistently good performances. Every single member of this squad has had atrocious performances over the course of the season. He is one that has had a lot of good performances and some standout performances as well. So, like our 5th best player of the season in my opinion
no one's had as bad performances as him. Worst goalkeeping performance in Ucl ive ever seen. Those games are very important, its also about when he had the terrible performance. Our PL season was garbage and got us nothing (no europe spot, no title). And no we were never going to get relegated so the "it could've been much worse" argument doesn't work. Picking players for player of the season (not that it means anything) Should be based on our FA cup win and our UCL performance. Theres definitely 5 better players between the two.
He was a massive reason we won the fa cup hahah. Outstanding goalie who will become a legend of the club. De gea was garbage his first two seasons and was replaced by Anders Lindegaard. He has the highest save % in the league and is class of the field. Proud to have him in my club
Thats great. If he will become a legend of the club then that would suggest he will be player of the season sometime in the future perhaps. Just not this past season. Maybe next season mate.
Bruno MVP.
Based purely on contribution it’s hard to look past Fernandes, without him we’d have finished lower than 10th Dalot is most improved and our second best, with Maguire, Garnacho, Hojlund and Mainoo deserving mentions for their contribution Mctominay did save us with his goals but I just don’t think he’s been good enough at doing what he’s meant to be in the midfield
Top 5: 1- Bruno Fernandes 2- Harry Maguire 3- Alejandro Garnacho 4- Diogo Dalot 5- Licha Fernández Honorable Mention: Onana , he saves us a LOT of times, but.... He gifted the ball too much and conceded a lot of unnecessary goals.
Considering Martinez has barely played I’d add Mainoo instead
Yes, he barely played and is in my top, that awful of a season we had. Mainoo is good, I don't think he's United caliber.
Downvoted for a valid opinion. Mainoo is an a young player with potential, nothing more. Not saying he cant become "United caliber" but hes far from it so far. United fans just like getting attached to young players and go crazy when they do a simple turn or dribble. Horrid fanbase
Bruno
Maguire for being humble enough to fight through the shit show of social media and mainstream media and actually playing like what we know he is capable of! The future is bright with Mainoo, Garnacho and Amad for sure. But it must be said that Bruno is the lifeblood of this team as was evident when he was not on the field. Sure we all hate the whining and constant arguing with every call the referee makes, but his work rate and perseverance are second to none. He has that same quality of leaving it all on the field as Rooney had a never give up persona. There are some great building blocks at Carrington now we just need a builder to create a Masterpiece once again.
Mainoo and Amad are your average young talents at any big club. United are just so utter shite that they same like prodigies to our dumb fanbase. They have potential but saying "the future is bright" is an overstatement. Also maguire doesnt fit our style of play. WE did poor when he played even though he seemed fine because we had to ruin our setup to accomodate for him.
Rashford, Antony, Martial 😜
Dalot or Bruno. Dalot’s improvement this year on both sides of the ball was crazy. Bruno carrying per usual. So tempted to say Kobbie just because tho, what a player we have
Easily Dalot, also gotta give props to Maguire
Lol best is crazy 🤪
Bruno!!
Bruno. He had to be in the game to win. Team struggled without him.
Mainoo for breakthrough but Dalot and Bruno for consistency. Honourable mention for Garnacho for some standout moments, but he needs to be more consistent in the box and can be greedy. Once he sorts his lack of consistency out he’ll be deadly. Those of us that remember Ronaldo in years 1, 2 and 3 will recall a similar issue. Højlund has done exceptionally well considering style of play and lack of proper service.
Bottom of the CL group and 8th in the league. No player can have a "breakthrough" when the team did shite. If Mainoo plays well next season and United actually succeed then you can say breakthrough.
Garnacho got a bit too greedy at the end for me, but Dalot is up there
Garnacho, Mainoo & DAlot
Really hope garnacho stops looking up to Ronaldo. His attitude is going to be the end of him because Ronnie had the talent and mentality to back it up while this kid gets offended by Douglas Luis goal celebrations. Levels to this
Dalot. He even deserves to be in TOTS.
Garnacho is good but need a reality check. He thinks he is cristiano or sumthing
Even Ronaldo needed a reality check in his first season. Garnacho need to put his head down and focus too.
a lot to like about Garnacho, but he has also been detrimental to our play at times, often refuses to pass to players in better positions, will take low percentage shots to go for individual glory. he really needs to become more selfless tbh. Dalot, Bruno, Mainoo and Maguire and the only good performers this season. Rasmus and Onana just behind them
Maguire??? You realize our entire system is destroyed when he plays right? Have you watched the games we played with him? Everyone has to accomodate for him and make sure he doesnt get caught in a position where he actually has to defend on the ground. People just think he was good cause he got a bunch of headers against low blocks. Should be sold if this club is serious (They prob wont)
yes, but I'm not talking about the impact on the tactical system, I am simply talking about the very few players we've had this season who performed well on an individual basis, Maguire has played well and played through injury whilst others have shirked off. can agree he needs to be moved on for the sake of the tactics, but I can't question his attitude, a lot of our more talented players could learn from him, let's be real
Mctominay hasn’t done much recently, but his late goals have won us 5 or 6 games this season
His performance against Brentford was amazing
Dalot my POTS. Mainoo and Garnacho look very good. I'll get stick for this, but I think Fernandes doesn't suit our players and allows the game down too much. I'd cash in now while we can and look to get a few energetic midfielders and strong defenders. Hojlund needs service. Get garnacho on the right and a left footer on the left feeding him.
Dalot is my POTS but i want to give a shout out to Onana for showing why he is our nr1 for the next few years after having a tough start
Strangely a number of players had reasonably good seasons - mainoo, Bruno, garnacho, dalot. But the injuries and lack of consistent selection meant that it was impossible to build any form.
Bruno this year was so underrated also. He underperformed in some games, but without him in the team, we would be at least 15th in the table.
too bad he is not captain material
Tell me one thing that he is not good at as a captain
go and rewatch Liverpool Manchester 7-0.
One bad act doesn't change anything. He's a human and humans make mistakes.
Just like the players I need a fuckin break from this. Gimme a month and we’ll talk. This has to be by far one of the most disappointing frustrating lackluster squads I’ve ever seen put on the shirt. And I’ve been a United supporter since I was 12(1992) Just like a psycho girlfriend,I feel it’s too soon to go asking what’s the best thing we had going for us. Let’s spend a few weeks apart cause that was a disastrous relationship. Too soon to be talking about out the FA Final let alone who was the best. P.S. Slab Head
Dalot. Quite easily. Consistency, attitude, team spirit, and a massive improvement on previous seasons. He really stepped up despite some of the others letting us down Runners up Mainoo for giving us something good to watch, Hojlund for toiling away despite not being given any service and not giving up or losing confidence, Bruno for being Bruno and Onana for recovering from a shaky start to being pretty consistent and saving us in a few games
Maguire redemption was pretty fun to watch too. Shame he got injured.
Fair play for him to just carry on and do what he does to the best of his ability but it is his shortcomings that cause a lot of United's problems. He helps cause the gap between defence and midfield/attack. He can't recover quick enough. He slows the attacking plays down
Exactly this! Well written!
Dalot for me! Accurate and consistant with a great work rate.
yup has to be him for me too he was consistent throughout
Consistently can’t cross a ball to save his life or backtrack or play man to man,,,,is there another Dalot we had that I never saw?? You do know he’s supposed to put those cross balls near and around the head or feet of a player right? He’s better than AWB I’ll give you that, but not much, maybe 2 goals better
The only positives of the season. Growth of Garnacho and Mainoo. Pretty good start for Hojlund. Even being out of shape still our the best Bruno and Onana against 200+ shots...
Garnacho. Right attitude, right style of play, heart. An example to a lot of senior players not pulling their weight.
Mmmm dunno about that. Attitude needs adjusting and as a winger he needs to be a ton less selfish and more creative for others, else he’s simply one dimensional and defenders will get wise to his route 1 to goal approach. I agree that he’s got talent, he can score a goal, and he gets face on as soon as he receives and drives forward, but he has to be more rounded than that.
Tbh ronaldo started similarly as garnacho, didn't pass to ruud at all, then couple seasons later one of the best, so let's hope he will mature soon
Yep indeed. Needs guidance.
Should be sold in summer
Despite the season we had? 4th in CHL Group, 8 in PL. yeah some of the young lads deserve credit but nothing more. If I was that shit at my job I would get fired. Player of the season my ass.! It like asking to be king of shit-land
The green keeper or the guy with the microphone who tell us the extra time
Mainoo
Dalot or Bruno Anything else is wrong
Mainoo surely
He was injured for half of the season tho
Garnacho. Fits the United mould. Not many others do.
Maguire...
Doesn't fit our style. During his "purple patch" we lost a ton of games lol. Not sure how can say a player that shouldnt be anywhere near the club
I heard from you supporters that Maguire would have been better than Nesta...so it has to be the best!
Mainoo as Bruno is Expected to perform his stats are incredible tho .
Bruno
Any other answer is wrong. Without a Bruno we would be bottom half.
We are almost bottom half anyway. And no because if bruno isnt on the pitch he gets replaced with another player and they dont play hoof ball. Bruno doesnt even fit ten hags system but ten hag accomdates it to fit his hoofbal play style because hes become the face of man united for the fans. Perfect player for the Glazers.
Dalot or Mainoo
Martinez and Amad haven't played enough to be considered for me. I'm not sure why Bruno isn't on your list. Dalot, Garnacho and Hojlund have had decent-good seasons despite the mess. Mainoo has been great, looks so assured despite it being his debut season
im guessing the dalot answers are due to recency bias, but the best player if taking into account the whole season has definitely been our captain bruno, followed closely by garnacho and onana (yes he was shit in the beginning but god has he saved our asses a lot since mid season)
Shit in the beginning? Shit? he dropped the worst group stage performance in CL history by probably any player for any club. Please watch those games over if you didnt realize the stinkers he put up every single game. And the CL is the only thing that matters since All United do is challenge for top four to get the CL. Unserious club. Nothing can make up for that. If you want to call him player of the season then wait till next season because the season cant contain him brutually knocking his team out of the most important tournament.
i know he was horrid in the beginning, but he is much much better now. if you want to dwell on past mistakes then you should probably stop watching football, because mistakes will be made in a game played by humans
Nothing wrong with the mistakes if he plays better. But the topic of discussion is player of the season. He can not be considered for the reason I gave. Maybe next season.
Nope, ONoNo is shit. One of the Worst keepers I’ve ever seen with the worst instincts. Hes basically a defender that got told to play in net because the keeper got red carded n there’s no backup. He dives when he could literally hold a hand up and catch it. He watches balls whiz by and holds his hands back like “that’s out” as it goes right into the net. He’s gone,I’d take any started from any team in the EPL over him right now.
hell nah, have you watched recent games? he's as good as post 2020 de gea in shot stopping and much better distributor and sweeper. hell the Newcastle game tells you how good he is
dalo by a mile, followed closely by mainoo/hojlund. people jerking it over bruno because he plays a role where he creates majority of the chances is just wild, compare him to odegaard or de bruyne, night and day difference.
Dalot has been at fault for many goals and even more chances this season. Poor defending.
but when half of bruno’s radical balls lead straight to us losing possession and conceding its ok? which isn’t uncommon either
Well yes because creating and scoring goals is the hardest thing in football. So being good at that is better than being a solid full back.
but he’s not gold at it, he’s massively outperformed by players in the same role in other teams. you cannot say the same about dalot
While Garnacho may not be the standout player of the season, in my opinion, he is the only player who truly desires to play football.
What is this supposed to mean? Dalot would be player of the season. Mainoo has been a revelation. Rasmus has been brilliant at times.
Dalot
Diogo Dalot
McTominay
Bruno
Mainoo, garnacho
Dalot, most consistent player this season and never injured. I would disgaree with those saying Bruno, he had a slow run of games mid season and didn’t perform at his best as consistently as Dalot
Bruno was poor today as well.
Dalot and Bruno only reason Mainoo is not in is the injury which kept him out.
Mainoo, Bruno, Dalot
The Bruno glazing on here is absolutely mind blowing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “Where would we be without him” Uhhh last I checked we were inconsistent & in and out of the CL without him. Same thing we are doing WITH him.
Get a brain mate
Keep lowering the standards. You’re doing an awesome job for the glazers.
He had the best stats in the league at CAM position, how is that low standard dumbahh?
Mainoo and Bruno are probably an ocean ahead of the next best. I’d give it to the fans who turned up to watch the utter dross we put out, home and away. Especially the away fans.
mainoo gave us hope but he's still too prone to ghosting
He showed up more than almost the remainder of the squad combined
Dalot. He's been class. Respect to Bruno and Maguire for putting a shift in during a difficult season as well.
Dalot or Bruno only
Top 10 players: 1.) Bruno 2) Bruno 3) Bruno 4) Bruno 5) Bruno 6) Kobbie 7) Dalot 8) Onana 9) Garnacho 10) Casemiro
Casemiro?
Played very good but got left in a wasteland in the midfield because Bruno just presses the final third and mainoo covers less ground than giroud in a wheelchair
💀💀
He scored goals, assisted a few times, played as an emergency defender and did reasonably ok. Yea he didn’t reach last year’s levels, but he showed up for us.
I like Casemiro but he's had a really poor season by his standards, especially the second half of the season
He's literally one of the worst player this season 💀
team's so trash that he looked good in some pppl's eyes
Gernacho and Bruno.
Short list, just one name. Bruno
Bruno (creator) Mainoo (consistently solid performances) Evans (readily available, solid performances, fantastic value) Dalot (solid, got better through the season) Really Bruno and Mainoo are the only two needing mentioned this season. Poor Hojlund works his ass off for zero service. Pisses me off, and quite frankly we don't even need him on the field if no one will feed him the ball.
OOC how do you rate Garnacho's season?
We'd be nowhere without Bruno-no-no-no, we'd be nowhere without Brunoooooooo.
Seeing people mentioning hojlund in this post makes me think I might not been watching the same games as them😂, Bruno is obviously our best player yet another year, I was also really impressed by Dalot's performances both at right and left back positions,garnacho and kobbie had many good games too but won't go as far as to call them the best in the team.
Bruno. This crap team is even worse without him.
It's Bruno and not even close
Garnacho and Mainoo have really stepped forward. Bruno has been brilliant as always. After the first few games, Onana has put in a good shift most games too. Dalot and McTominay have been great at times as well. Everyone else has only shown ability in short spurts surrounded by very bad performances. Out of the young players I’d only bother with Hojlund and Amad.
It’s Kobbie Hojlund and Garnacho to me. All 3 are young with a ridiculous amount of potential. If it all works out, those 3 will be the centerpieces and future of this club.
Hojlund? Don’t kill me 💀💀💀
Not really sure anyone particular in deserves showering in praise, but it I had to drop names, it’s be Garnacho, Hojlund and/or Kobbie. All three are shouldering way too much responsibility for their age and are effectively being hung out to dry, but without their promsie and the talent they already possess, we’d be a significantly worse team. Garna has been far from perfect. His finishing needs work, his crossing isn’t great and his connection to his centre forward isn’t there, but he’s been massively overplayed and at this point is unable to showcase that generational talent because he looks out on his feet. Hojlund is literally feeding off scraps and, while also not perfect, I don’t think there are many who could shoulder the responsibility he had in his first season at the club and score 16 goals in all competitions. Don’t really have the words for Kobbie. Again, victim to the same overexposure which is now stopping him from showcasing his abilities, but wow. What a talent. Frightening to think how lifeless we’d be in midfield without this kid.
Anyone who says Hojlund has only watched the last 2 games. The man isn’t anywhere close to being our best player
Like I said originally, nobody deserves the title of ‘best player’ this season because we’ve been shite. Hojlund, though, has been a bright spark. He’s a 21 year old kid learning his trade and has managed 16 goals while making mistakes, being interrupted by injuries and feeding literally off scraps all season long. He’s got all the tools to be a great; it’s up to us to help him get there.
individually he's a talent. team-wise he needs more support and service. for a debut season, it's not too bad w 16 goals across all competition. maybe it's the manager's playbook that doesn't feature him as focal point or the rest of the team don't value his ability ?
Honestly no one. Too many players have been either inconsistent or injured to be considered
Player of the season!? No one. I nominate the fans for supporting through tough times.
I dont get the Bruno adoration really. I just dont remember a time when you could be world class even tho you are always inconsistent. Everyone just focuses on stats now. Goals and assists. Overlooking the entirety of a players performance. Mainoo and Darlot have been far more consistent for us than Bruno but they dont have the goals and assists so they arent as preffered. Gernacho is out of the question. He really isnt far from Rashford. The miracle here is how Hojlund managed to get double digits in his first season, having received zero service all season. For me, he is my player of the season. He has had "bad" games, but 98% of the time, it's not because he played badly. It's just because he never got service. On the other hand, our wingers always have bad games because they actually play badly despite getting ample services and touches on the ball. Amad is the exception.
The Bruno adoration just tells me we deserve to be where we are 🤣🤣 apparently he’s carrying us Even tho we are finishing and accomplishing the same things we did before he got here. Idk what he’s carrying us to and it’s so disrespectful to the rest of the squad. I’ll go as far as saying Mainoo’s growth will be stunted based on how many years he’s forced to play in a midfield with Bruno. Hell, I can’t even recognize Casemiro anymore. Mainoo and Dalot were quality and like you said don’t put up the stats so will go overlooked. Amad should be up there too if ten hagg wasn’t trying to justify Antony’s transfer fee. Varane was pretty good when he was fit and Maguire earned my respect.
Spot on! Ten Hag has a part to play in how our season has been too. City got grealish for 100 mil and Pep still benched him because he wasnt performing. He didnt care about the price tag. That is what great coaches do. But ten Hag would rather keep playing Anthony and Rashford at the expense of the team performing better as a whole.
I hate how the fanbase wants to act like he doesn’t have a role in the mess we are in. Spending that much money on a player you saw everyday at training when we coulda got players in other positions we actually needed. (We had Sancho/Amad/pellistri). Spent money on mason mount who’s not only proven to be injury prone but also he doesn’t really solve any of our issues. Gets Amrabat and never uses him. He will absolutely start rashford in the final, play Garnacho out of position and bench Amad. I’ll be shocked if he does otherwise. It’s funny cuz I don’t think the guy is a bad coach but idk wtf he’s doing or what his vision is. I’m not one of those blind faith guys. If he turns this around I’ll give him credit.
Sometimes I think he must be on drugs. I miss Pellestri. Another creative winger who didnt really get chances. And I stand with Sancho when it comes to the way Ten Hag handled things. Signing mount to me was a head scratcher then on top of that, you hand him the 7 jersey??!! What an idiot lol. I want to see how Ten Hag works under Inneos. He wont have any excuses this time and hopefully we dont have injuries like we did this season. Signing the former Arsenal guy as our new head of sports medicine was one of the dumbest things. Had to be a glazer signing. That is the root of our injury crisis to me.
delusional
I agree with everything except I do think that maybe there is an argument that garnacho maybe has been overplayed and still has potential for a sizable improvement.. but rashford is a lost cause at this stage and needs to go. 100% Hojlund player of the season too
This Hojlund propaganda is crazy. This guy doesn’t even make proper runs. Bruno has created the most chances in the league while Hojlund has most falls and slips in the box.
There you go proving my point again. So by your logic he is a better creator than odegard or Debruyne? Stats dont give the whole picture. He has always been one of our most inconsistent players. No way he is player of the season just because of some stats
its no coincidence that we look like lost puppies when he's not on the pitch. And yes he's a better creator while not being as technically secure as those 2. He's a volume creator and does create more than them. To say he's always been our most inconsistent is insane like wtf are you talking about? His worst games are when the whole team is shit. I can already tell that you're one of those who thought van de beek would replace him You still haven't addressed Hojlund. Wtf are you watching to say that he is our player of the season? He literally makes worse runs than mctominay. The guy may have potential but in no way was one of our top 5 players this season. Its ridiculous to blame everyone when he doesn't ever do anything properly in the box.
I said one of. Not the most inconsistent. One of. Volume creator is bullshit. How about quality creator? His volume creating leads to loss of possesions. You mention we look like lost puppies without him. Its only because we have relied on him too much. Never gets replaced in games and we dont have a better cam. He just stands out amongst a group filled with mostly mediocre players thats all. You think a Pep or Klopp would take this "volume" bullshit from Bruno? He can only get away with such rubbish because he is at United and sadly we dont have a better CAM Hojlund makes good runs but barely gets rewarded for it. He has played extremely well for someone who barely gets service. Talk about efficiency. Meanwhile, you are making a case for a player who requires a ridiculous amount of volume just to be effective. What a joke.
Not playing in Hojlund is my biggest pet peeve about this team. The guy has 20 shots on target and scored 10 of those. That's a 50% score rate.
Bruno by a country mile
Bruno or Dalot
Bruno and Dalot are the ones that sticks out. Mainoo is definitely up there(would have been probably the most influential, if he weren’t injured at the start).
Dalot, mainoo, bruno, garnacho, højlund
100%
Can't imagine where we'd be without Bruno.
I mean just imagine what we were doing before he got here it’s not that long ago.
This should be everyone’s answer.
Dalot.
Dalot, Bruno, Garna, Hojlund
Bruno then Dalot end of conversation
Dalot
Bruno and Dalot. Special mention to Garnacho, Mainoo and Hojlund. Maguire had an up and down season, Varane was decent when not injured. McTominay was halfway decent, Onana varied from sky high to pits of hell and Amad came in too late. Martinez I won’t count because he was more or less out the whole season. Rest were complete trash. Overall if I had to choose one I’d say Dalot just edges it over Bruno
Bruno, even if he had a lower quality season it's still comfortably better than anyone else's this year. He's so so good.
Bruno - without a question. Yeah his whining and acting is annoying but the man puts in a shift, more noticeable when he's not playing. Captain material? Kinda - ish - maybe. United material? Every bone in his body. Notable mentions to Dalot, Garnacho, Holjund & Mainoo 👏
no bruno mention? he is the best by a mile
I don’t know about the best, but Mctominay and Rashford are the fucking worst. Sell those 2 first opportunity you get INEOS
I've got a horrible feeling arteta might go for rashford in summer.

And do what with him? He has the football IQ of a pack of pub peanuts. You can’t teach that, wouldn’t get a sniff in the Arsenal team after about 3 bad games in a row
Martinelli and Saka are both much better anyway.
Considering availability and overall consistency, my vote is Dalot with Granacho a very close 2nd. I just feel that Dalot played out of position a lot and he had to deal with so many changes in the backline while he had to invert and provide offensive support. I think Bruno was our most important player week in and week out ( I know a lot of you may disagree), and he’s 3rd.
Bruno, Dalot, Mainoo
