Who has shone in a difficult season at Old Trafford?

It may have been a disappointing season for Manchester United, but former defender Gary Pallister has found some positives to take from the campaign. 

Erik ten Hag's side still have the FA Cup Final to salvage something from the season, but Pallister can also cite the emergence of two young stars, who he believes are the club's players of the year. 

“I think Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have been the two big pluses for United this season," Pallister told BetVictor.  

“Garnacho was in and out of the team towards the back end of last season, but now he’s nailed down a starting spot. He’s scoring goals and creating chances and he’s got great energy. His footballing brain has improved and he looks a lot stronger. I think he’s probably the favourite to be United’s Player of the Year. 

“Mainoo has been incredible. He has suffered a bit of a dip since his full England debut where he was absolutely exceptional, which you have to expect from young players but he’s a real star in the making.

"His England debut was a joy to watch and he played like somebody who had 50 caps under his belt – he stole the show.”
