Manchester United are a force to reckon with in the Premier League

#16 Luke Shaw (Defender) - £70,000/week

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League — Luke Shaw is earning his place back

Just when Luke Shaw looked all set to move away from United after falling out with Mourinho, the youngster came back with some impressive performances and looks to have won back the United fans.

Mourinho recently hailed him as one of the best left-backs in the world. When he's on top of his game, you have to admit there are only a few who can outclass him.

#15 Daley Blind (Defender) - £75,000/week

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League — Daley Blind doesn't have the pace to start at left-back for United

Daley Blind formed a strong partnership with Chris Smalling at the centre of the United defence in LvG's last season as their manager. But subsequently, he hasn't been able to replicate the same form and with the arrival of Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof, Blind seems to have fallen out of favour and doesn't feature much these days.

#14 Ander Herrera (Midfielder) - £75,000/week

Everton v Manchester United - Premier League — Ander Herrera celebrates after scoring against Everton

Ander Herrera had a fantastic 2016-17 campaign and topped it off with the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award. But the subsequent arrival of Nemanja Matic has seen him play less and his importance is slowly diminishing at United.

Still a top player when he is in his groove, Herrera is all about the fight and it wouldn't be surprising if he makes a comeback into the starting XI soon. After all, who can forget the man-marking masterclass he executed against Chelsea last season?
