8) Antonio Valencia – Back to his best after some jittery form in the last few years, Antonio Valencia has really shone as a right wing-back.
7) Marcos Rojo – A good signing, the Argentine centre-back has been solid in defence and his form could prove crucial for the club.
6) Marouane Fellaini – Much improved this season, the Belgian is finally showing the form that saw him so highly regarded at previous club Everton.
5) Juan Mata – A consistent source of goals and assists, Juan Mata has been in fine form recently as he looks to establish himself as a key part of this side.
