Man Utd fans rank the club's players

It's been a dismal season for Manchester United.

They are well behind in the race for the Premier League title and are in danger of missing out on a top four spot.

With the campaign fast approaching its conclusion, United fans have ranked their players out of 10 based on their performances this season. It's fair to say they don't have a very high opinion of Harry Maguire's displays in 2021/22...
