Strong in the tackle
Undoubtedly, United's best centre-back, Eric Bailly's injury problems have been detrimental to Mourinho's Red Army. With long legs that can poke a ball from several yards away and the ability to cover ground faster than most centre-backs, Bailly is quite the presence at the back.

Manchester United would like him back at the earliest as it is as clear as day that he will be the man to lead them from the back for years to come.

#12 Michael Carrick (Midfielder) - £80,000/week
Michael Carrick- underrated
The languid elegance of Michael Carrick has been well documented in the recent past and when he retires at the end of the season, Manchester United will miss him dearly.

A calm presence at the centre of the field, Carrick's eye for a pass and defensive abilities have been crucial to United for almost a decade. Though his contribution has dwindled in the recent past, he puts in a shift everytime he's called upon.

#11 Marouane Fellaini (Midfielder) - £80,000/week
A divisive figure
A player who was much maligned and derided in his early days at Trafford, Fellaini has grown in stature since and has become a cult hero of sorts. Popping up with some crucial goals in United's successful League Cup, FA Cup and Europa Cup campaigns, Fellaini is a manager's player who will execute the gaffer's plans to perfection more often than not.

His aerial presence and physical abilities make him a unique asset and Mourinho himself has said that Fellaini is too important to the team.
