FIFA 20: 5 Manchester United players who deserve a downgrade

Manchester United's 2018/19 season was something the fans would want to forget as soon as possible. The Red Devils finished 6th in the table and also ended the season trophyless.

To make things worse, Manchester City won the league, Liverpool won the Champions League, and Chelsea won the Europa League. Tottenham and Arsenal, meanwhile, finished above them in the Premier League table. In short, they were the worst of the top 6.

Jose Mourinho was sacked midway through the season and replaced with Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who brought a spark to the team. However, before the spark could turn into something meaningful, the results were not going their way again. The Red Devils could not pull off a miracle, and it was all down mainly to the top guns at the club.

Without further ado, here are 5 Manchester United players who deserve a downgrade:

#5 – Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has said that he is looking for a new challenge this summer and is looking for a move away. But in all fairness, he has not completed the challenge he took when he came to Old Trafford.

The Frenchman was not at his best once again for Manchester United, and the club suffered on the pitch. The midfielder was slow on the ball and often made errors that started the counter for the opposition's goal.

Rated at 88 in FIFA 19, there is no way he is going to keep hold of that. Pogba's performance last season are enough for EA Sports to hand him a downgrade without thinking twice.

While a massive downgrade isn't expected for him, EA Sports should at least push him to 86 as he is only worthy of them much right now.

Should his performances improve, they should hand him an upgrade in the winter refresh.

Arsenal v Manchester United - Premier League

#4 – Alexis Sanchez

It looks like Alexis Sanchez is set to stay at Manchester United for at least another 6 months and nobody has an idea why. The Chilean has been a big-time flop the Red Devils and is hardly making any impact in the game.

Rated at 87 is FIFA 19, he is in line for a massive downgrade. The winger should be pushed to 84 or 83 at least as he does not deserve anything more than that in FIFA 20.

#3 – Nemanja Matic

When Manchester United signed Nemanja Matic from Chelsea, the Red Devils faithful were happy that they have a midfielder who can 'unlock' Paul Pogba. However, a few months in, they had realised why The Blues let go of the Serbian without any fuss.

Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, Matic is another Manchester United star who is set to be handed a massive downgrade. His rating could end up similar to Sanchez at 84 or 83.

Everton v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final

#2 – Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku's signing was seen as the best one United made in the attacking front since the signing of Anthony Martial. The Belgian was highly rated during his time at Chelsea and Everton, and it was no surprise that United had to splash out over £75M to get him.

Rated at 87 in FIFA 19, Lukaku has not lived up to the expectation and deserves to be downgraded to 85 at least in FIFA 20.

#1 – David De Gea

Last season was easily David De Gea's worst season ever, and it was a shock to everyone. The Spanish's woeful time started at the World Cup and did not end until the end of the season.

Rated at 91, De Gea is also in line for a downgrade and could end up seeing his rating drop to 88 in FIFA 20.
