Antonio Valencia

Antonio Valencia is a marvel. The winger-turned-right-back has established himself as not just one of the best fullbacks at Manchester United — but one of the best in England.

He’s a leader on the pitch. Manager Jose Mourinho has entrusted him the title of interim-captain while Michael Carrick works his way back to full fitness.

His physical play can set the tempo of a match, and his attacking potential plays a huge part in United’s movement in the final third.

Overlooked by man, there’s no doubt he has been one of Manchester United’s five most important players this season.
