Marcus Rashford (£7.2m) – If fit, the midfielder is the standout option in the Man United offensive line. So far the Englishman has banked a cool 16 goals and five assists this season, totalling 21 returns in 33 games.

Luke Shaw (£5.2m) – The defender has proven his reliability in terms of minutes which has been reinforced by his versatility in both centre-back and left-back. Shaw looks set for a full return to the latter position where he has increased assist potential.
