Manchester United Player Rankings: Best to Worst in 24/25 season
After a season of chaos, controversy, and collapse, Manchester United finish empty-handed, and possibly outside the top half of the Premier League. From early cup exits to a Europa League final defeat against Spurs, it’s been a campaign most fans will want to erase. With injuries, managerial turmoil, and underperforming stars, no one escaped scrutiny.
Here, we rank all 29 first-team players from best to worst, based on performances, impact, consistency, and, frankly, how much of a mess this season really was.
Note: The following information was received before the summer transfor window of 2025
29. Bruno Fernandes
While his post-final comments hinted at a player nearing the end of his tether, Fernandes remained the one consistent performer. Despite the team’s implosion, he created, scored, and dragged United forward. If he leaves, the gap he leaves behind will be enormous.

28. Amad Diallo
Ten Hag overlooked him, Amorim embraced him. Diallo was United’s most exciting attacker before injury halted his momentum. Though quiet in the Europa League final, he offered rare hope in attack when fit.
27. Noussair Mazraoui
A smart piece of business for under £30 million, Mazraoui brought energy and reliability in a side sorely lacking both. More of this kind of signing, please.
26. Casemiro
While still earning a staggering £350k a week, Casemiro showed flashes of his old self. It wasn’t a full redemption, but he looked far better than last season. United will still try to move him on, though.
25. Harry Maguire
Cristian Romero might haunt him, but Maguire was surprisingly solid this year. He may be sold due to his wage bill, but it wasn’t a bad campaign by his recent standards.

24. Ayden Heaven
Rarely used, but rarely poor. One of the few players who can reflect on the season with minimal regrets. Not flashy, but effective when called upon.
23. Diogo Dalot
Thrived in a back four, but looked lost in Amorim’s 3-4-3. Still among the league’s better full-backs when in his comfort zone.
22. Harry Amass
Made his senior debut this season but was on the losing side in every start. Still, for a youngster, stepping onto the Old Trafford pitch is an achievement.
21. Chido Obi
Six senior appearances at just 17 is a statement. He’s one for the future, no doubt, and this season will serve as a huge experience boost.

20. Tyler Fredricson
Didn’t play enough to leave a mark, but may become one of those obscure trivia names fans dig up years later.
19. Toby Collyer
Six appearances, no starts. Still, he’s on the radar, and with a midfield shake-up looming, he may get his chance.
18. Antony
A nightmare first half of the season gave way to a revival at Real Betis. If he wins the Conference League final against Chelsea, his stock might just rise again.
17. Mason Mount
Another season plagued by injuries, but his showing against Bilbao hinted at what he might offer. At £55 million and one of the top earners, “glimpses” aren’t enough.

16. Matthijs de Ligt
At times solid, but his blunders, Spurs, Anfield, West Ham, were critical. Ultimately played a role in Ten Hag’s dismissal.
15. Lisandro Martinez
Missed much of United’s implosion through injury. A tough, vocal presence when fit, but we didn't see enough of him to shift the tide.
14. Jonny Evans
Signed for experience, Evans ended up being United’s most reliable center-back at 37. That says plenty about the season.
13. Patrick Dorgu
Still rough around the edges, but with pace and strength to burn. A long-term project, perhaps, but one with potential.

12. Victor Lindelof
Rarely impressed, but also rarely failed. A quiet season likely to end with a quiet exit as a free agent.
11. Kobbie Mainoo
Started strong, even earned an England call-up, but fatigue caught up with him. Needs a summer reset to avoid burnout.
10. Alejandro Garnacho
He’s electric on the ball, but decision-making and execution let him down. Chelsea rumors are swirling, and a fresh start might not be the worst idea.
9. Christian Eriksen
Set to leave on a free, Eriksen’s time at United ends with little fanfare. Offered experience, if not much else, during a chaotic campaign.
8. Leny Yoro
Talented but raw, Yoro looked out of his depth at times. Injuries didn’t help. The jury’s still out on whether Old Trafford is the right place for his development.
7. Joshua Zirkzee
Scored on debut, then looked confused and out of place. Improved slightly under Amorim, but we still don’t know where (or if) he fits in.
6. André Onana
Capable of jaw-dropping saves and jaw-dropping errors, Onana was maddeningly inconsistent. He’ll likely stay… unless Saudi clubs get very generous.
5. Manuel Ugarte
A reunion with Amorim was meant to spark something. It didn’t. For £51 million, he offered little in terms of control or presence.
4. Altay Bayindir
A string of weak performances made it clear he isn’t ready for top-flight goalkeeping at United. An exit feels imminent.
3. Luke Shaw
A familiar story: injuries, poor form, and missed opportunities. A once-reliable option who now feels like a liability.
2. Marcus Rashford
From local hero to unwanted loanee. Amorim shut the door firmly, and while he showed promise at Villa, it’s likely the end of his United story.
1. Rasmus Hojlund
Big fee, bigger expectations, and almost nothing to show for it. If he stays, next season is do-or-die. If he’s sold, it’ll be for a fraction of what United paid.
