Marcus Rashford up and Cristiano Ronaldo down - The winners and losers of Manchester United's season so far

The season is only just over a month old but a lot of games have already been played, even with the several fixture postponements Manchester United have had.

After a desperate start, Erik ten Hag has turned the ship around with four straight league wins to see his side fifth in the table. A number of players have been key in the revival, stars who have now been charged with keeping up their good form.

However, the story is not the same for everyone. A season of promise has quickly turned into a campaign of frustration with a lack of game time for a handful of United stars.

Marcus Rashford

Arguably the biggest turnaround made by a United player so far this season, Rashford has netted three times in his past four games and looks to have his confidence back. He’s now ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the centre-forward pecking order and there is debate over whether he gets ahead of Anthony Martial when he returns from injury.

Christian Eriksen

After an unstable first few outings, Eriksen has shown everybody why Ten Hag signed him. His link-up play from a deeper role has proved to be fluid, evidencing that he is the perfect glue between the defence and Bruno Fernandes.

Tyrell Malacia

The Dutch full-back had hardly put a foot wrong since replacing Luke Shaw at half-time against Brentford. Malacia ’s fearlessness against both Mo Salah and Bukayo Saka has demonstrated his top-tier abilities.

Jadon Sancho

The winger already has two goals to his name, both of them crucial in the Liverpool and Leicester wins. Ten Hag clearly likes his adaptability to play on the left and right and he finally looks to be getting into his stride at Old Trafford.
