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

#8 Ashley Young (Defender) - £110,000/week

Manchester United v Brighton and Hove Albion - Premier League — Still Young

Ashley Young has had quite a few ups and downs in his Manchester United career. But he is enjoying his best spell at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho. Though his defensive capabilities are often called into question, he remains a menace going forward.

Youngy's crosses have yielded great results for Mourinho's men and he has even chipped in with his share of outrageous goals for the Reds. He is currently the first-choice left-back in the team in spite of the presence of a resurgent Luke Shaw.

#7 Nemanja Matic (Midfielder) - £120,000/week

Swansea City v Manchester United - Carabao Cup Fourth Round — Nemanja Matic has been solid for United

Despite all the drama that we had to wade past in the past summer transfer window, Chelsea letting Matic join United still remains one of the most baffling pieces of business that we have seen in the recent past. Chelsea won the league thanks in no small part to the solid Kante-Matic partnership in the heart of midfield.

But when United came knocking in the summer, Chelsea let go of Matic and solved one of the most daunting problems of their title rivals. Matic has been impressive so far for United and has been able to displace Ander Herrera from the first team. More importantly, he has afforded Pogba space to motor ahead and work his magic.
