#3 Mason Greenwood

After a tough start to the season, Mason Greenwood is showcasing his enormous talent once again. Greenwood came off the bench to score his seventh European goal during Roma's demolition and it was a ruthless finish.

Five goals in seven appearances shows how strong he has come after his early season struggles. Another amazing fact is that apart from Marcus Rashford, Greenwood is just the second United player to score in five separate competitions this season.

It will be interesting to see the 19-year old winger who is brimming with confidence against Liverpool who like to push their full-backs up the field.


#2 Mohamed Salah

The season might not have gone how Mo Salah hoped it would, but it is still an excellent one for the Egyptian. With 20 goals to his name, Salah is only second to Harry Kane, who is leading the race for the golden boot with 21 goals to his name.

Liverpool's Champions League spot depends a lot on how Salah performs in these remaining games. The 28-year can help his team make a statement with a win against their arch-rivals.

Salah scored twice when these sides met earlier in the FA Cup in January and will be looking to do the same in this must-win game for Liverpool. Harry Chambers was the only Liverpool player to score away against the Red Devils in two different games (Season 1920-1921).


#1 Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United's talisman

With 26 goals and 16 assists this season in all competitions, it is safe to say Bruno Fernandes is one of the best in the world at the moment. Everything the Portuguese touches, turns into gold.

Manchester United's talisman inspired a stunning 6-2 win over Roma earlier this week and has been doing similar things all season. Bruno, though, is not satisfied with his numbers. The 26-year-old hit 32 goals for Sporting back in the 2018-19 season and believes he can do better at Manchester United.

His attitude and skillset is why he takes the top spot here. If Jurgen Klopp wants to get the better of Manchester United, he needs to find a way to stop Bruno Fernandes.
