#3 Jadon Sancho

Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund, Jadon Sancho has yet to settle into the Premier League. Although he is yet to show his true potential for Manchester United, the sky is the limit for Sancho. The forward arrived after bagging 50 goals and 64 assists during his time at Dortmund.

Sancho possesses blistering pace and magnificent flair on the ball. The 21-year-old can beat defenders with his trickery and open up defenses with his venomous runs forward. Sancho is also extremely versatile - he can play on both flanks and be decisive with his caliber. His crossing ability from wide areas is a bonus but is equally threatening to opponents' defense.

The English top flight is extremely difficult for youngsters but a player of Sancho's caliber will only grow with experience.

#2 Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has showcased his might for Manchester United, rising to become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. The Portuguese functions as an attacking midfielder and wreaks havoc into opponent's defense with his abilities.

Bruno is direct in his playmaking, known for penetrating defense with his vicious through balls. The 27-year-old tends to be more direct during attacks and attempts to find his teammates or go for goal himself in the final third. Bruno does not shy away from responsibilities as the playmaker is one of the most hardworking among his teammates.

Bruno was one of the best players for the Red Devils in the previous campaign, creating plenty of chances for the forwards. He has won Manchester United's 'Player of the season' award twice in a row. The midfielder scored 28 goals and assisted another 17 in all competitions for Manchester United in his last campaign.

Pogba's vision and tendency to provide a spectacle sets him apart from his competitors. With a unique mix of superior ball-shielding ability and terrific passing range, the 28-year old remains the main creative outlet for the Red Devils.

Pogba has already bagged 7 assists in the Premier League this season in just eight appearances.
