Premier League giants Manchester United are currently enjoying an incredible run of form in the ongoing 2022-23 season. The Red Devils have now won eight consecutive games in all competitions, their longest winning streak since the 2018-19 season.

Much of the credit has to go to Dutch tactician Erik ten Hag. He has been able to turn their campaign around after a rocky start as well as revive the form of his players.

Some of the Red Devils' players seem to have reinvented themselves under the Dutchman and have picked up form as the season enters the business end.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the top four Manchester United players who currently have the most goal contributions this season.

The Danish international is arguably one of the biggest bargains of the 2022 summer window after Manchester United secured his services on a free transfer.

Christian Eriksen has gone on to become an integral part of Ten Hag's team and is also one of the Red Devils' best performers.

His creativity has been key for the 13-time Premier League champions and he currently leads the assists chart for his team in all competitions.

Eriksen has the second-highest goal contributions for the Red Devils, with 10 in total. He has scored two goals and provided eight assists in all competitions.
