Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Excellent defensively Wan-Bissaka continued his lock down of the right-back position in the United starting XI in 2020/21.

Impact Wan-Bissaka once again didn't offer too much offensively managing two goals and four assists across the league campaign. The right-back is far and away the number one option at his position, and is starting nearly every single match. If Wan-Bissaka can add more offense to his game he will be an immense option.

Axel Tuanzebe - Remains depth option Tuanzebe made nine league appearance (four starts) during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Tuanzebe failed to establish himself in the starting XI, and spent most of the season as an unused substitute. It wasn't necessarily a poor showing when he did play, but Tuanzebe couldn't do much to earn a spot. Another offseason of development could prove to be just what the center back needs.

Victor Lindelof - Keeps spot Lindelof made 29 starts during the 2020/21 campaign picking up a goal and an assist.

Impact Questions swirled around Lindelof's spot in the starting XI with a chain of disappointing finishes putting everything in question. That proved to be no concern for the big Swede though, he established himself as a true number one center back in Manchester. A late season injury held him back for a few games, but he played 120 minutes of the Europa League final, and appeared to be fully fit.

Phil Jones - Yet another lost season Jones has been dealing with a knee injury since January 2020, and it seems to have not gotten better.

Impact Jones was originally hoped to be fit by December 2020, but May 2021 has rolled around and there's nothing positive from the Jones camp. He hasn't played double digit games for United since 2018 and that seems unlikely to change, if nothing else, due to better available options.

Marcus Rashford - Twenty goal contributions Rashford scored 11 times and assisted nine on 37 appearances during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Rashford had the second best season of his young career, reaching double digit goals for the third straight season, and recording a career high nine assists. The forward has grown into a true leader in the United dressing room, and on the pitch. Rashford added eight European goals, including an impressive six in five Champions League starts.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luke Shaw - Takes over at left-back Shaw made 30 starts and notched five assists during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Shaw was faced with a tall task keeping Alex Telles out of the starting XI, but he truly established himself as the number one at left-back. The defender finally lived up to some of his potential, playing the most minutes he has played in his career. Shaw will hope to hold onto his spot in the starting XI moving forward.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mason Greenwood - Seven goals on the wing Greenwood scored seven times and assisted twice in the league during the 2020/21 season.

Impact Greenwood has found his home on the right wing in the United XI, and he seems to be more and more comfortable there. While he didn't reach his 10 goal haul of 2019/20, he did manage a strong campaign with 21 starts. Greenwood isn't going anywhere, and looks to be a mainstay in the starting XI in 2021/22.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Pogba - Average in limited time Pogba ended the 2020/21 season with three goals and three assists in 21 starts.

Impact Pogba was hoping to finally gel with the team around him, namely Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. Unfortunately he was unable to accomplish much in 2020/21, and even began to see time on the bench. Pogba's immediate future more certain than his long-term club of choice, as a place with France for the Euros always seems to put him in better spirits. With no other creative midfielders picked on the same level as him, Pogba will likely be given the freedom to conduct one of the best attacking sides on the continent this summer.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Fernandes - Sophmore dominance Fernandes made 37 league appearances and scored 18 times, adding 12 assists in the 2020/21 season.

Impact The midfielder also added nine European goals and five assists to complete an incredible season. While Fernandes was a key piece in 2019/20, Fernandes was absolutely dominant in 2020/21, setting himself as one of the best talents in the Premier League. Another season of top-tier production should be expected from Fernandes beginning in the fall, though we won't be able to forget about him so soon as he's been called up into Portugal's roster for the Euros. With the team deeper front-to-back than it has been in a long time, Fernandes could be one of the stars of the tournament as the setup man for Cristiano Ronaldo in the attack.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Telles - Only makes eight starts Telles mad eight league starts in 2020/21, failing to establish himself in the starting XI.

Impact Telles faced a tall task breaking into the United starting XI, and he failed to do so in any meaningful way. The defender made eight league starts, with the majority of his playing time coming in the Europa League. Telles will hope to breakout in 2021/22 as he competes with Luke Shaw.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

David De Gea - Falters in loss De Gea made no saves and missed a penalty during Wednesday's 1-1 (AET) loss to Villarreal.

Impact De Gea was unable to get much done, being beaten on the single shot he faced over two hours on the pitch. The keeper also proved to miss the game-deciding penalty in the shootout. De Gea's tenure in Manchester United could very well be at an end.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scott McTominay - Assists in final McTominay provided one assist on his only chance created during Wednesday's 1-1 (AET) defeat to Villarreal.

Impact McTominay ended the season without silverware, and managed only five league goal contributions all season. The midfielder seems to be a mainstay in the Manchester United XI, and looks to have a stable spot. McTominay isn't likely to put together too much offense in most matches moving forward.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Edinson Cavani - Scores in loss Cavani scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 1-1 (AET) defeat to Villarreal.

Impact Cavani netted the equalizer, and his penalty in the shootout, but it wasn't enough to end the year with some silverware. The forward finished the season with 10 goals and three assists, a strong return for his 13 starts in Manchester. Cavani totaled 26 appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League, and managed six goal and two assists in five Europa League appearances.

Harry Maguire - On bench for UEL final Maguire (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's Europa League final against Villarreal.

Impact As expected, Maguire isn't ready to start Wednesday, as he was barely running earlier in the week. In his place, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly are starting at center-back. The good news for Maguire is that he's at least on the bench, a positive ahead of the Euros.
