Ten most underrated players in world football, with Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool aces.
A look at the top ten underrated players in world football at the moment, with players at Manchester United and Liverpool who don’t get the hype they deserve…
1) Christian Eriksen (Tottenham)
Perhaps not the most consistently effective performer, but Christian Eriksen has been one of Europe’s most talented playmakers for a number of years now and could certainly be playing for a club in the Champions League.
2) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
One of the best finishers in the Premier League when he’s fit, Daniel Sturridge has been crucial for Liverpool and it is little surprise that they have missed him so much through his injury problems.

3) Thomas Vermaelen (Barcelona)
Harshly slated for his injury problems at Arsenal and in his first year at Barcelona, Thomas Vermaelen has now become a regular for the Catalan giants and is showing his worth again.
4) Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
In and out of the Manchester United team, Ander Herrera would surely be a regular starter for most top European sides, having proven himself to be a quality playmaker with an eye for goal.
5) Douglas Costa (Bayern Munich)
Signed on the cheap by Bayern Munich this summer, Douglas Costa has looked world class since moving to the Bundesliga giants, making one wonder how no one else spotted his talent.
6) Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
Spoken about more now after links to Manchester United, but Thomas Muller has been one of Europe’s best players for many years and is somewhat harshly still not regarded as in the same bracket as the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
7) Fernandinho (Manchester City)
A superb box-to-box midfielder back to his best this season, Fernandinho is capable of bossing games on his own when he’s at his best, and his discipline often allows Yaya Toure to do his thing.
8) Santi Cazorla (Arsenal)
A player more fans are starting to appreciate, though it remains a mystery how a player of Santi Cazorla’s quality is not at a bigger club and was allowed to join Arsenal for only £12m when Mesut Ozil cost £42.5m.
9) Ivan Rakitic (Barcelona)
A classy playmaker who is doing the tough job of replacing Xavi at Barcelona, Ivan Rakitic is not talked about as one of the best in Europe nearly enough.
10) Miralem Pjanic (AS Roma)
Another superb midfielder, Miralem Pjanic could be at a much bigger club than AS Roma, but is rarely linked with moves away despite consistently eye-catching displays in Serie A.
