Erik ten Hag's £60m signing has become Manchester United's most important player

It says a lot about Erik ten Hag's transformation of Manchester United that a squad that looked desperate and devoid of confidence last season is now full of leaders.

United triumphed in the Carabao Cup final over Newcastle on February 26, ending the club's six-year wait for silverware. After a slow start, Ten Hag's side went on to control the match, with the result never looking in doubt once Marcus Rashford added to Casemiro's opener at Wembley.

With United in the FA Cup quarter-finals, the Europa League round-of-16 and still in the Premier League title race, few would bet against more silverware before the season is out.

One of the most impressive qualities of Ten Hag's new-look team is the mentality of the squad. Recent comeback wins over Barcelona and West Ham have shown that even when United are not at their best, the squad now has the experience and know-how to get results when they matter - but who is number one when it comes to Ten Hag's stars?
