Planet Football listed the Manchester United players it said had declined the most by comparing their WhoScored ratings in Premier League matches from last season with this season. The piece also set out appearance totals, ratings and basic output for several players.
How the comparison was made
Planet Football said it was looking at Manchester United players' WhoScored ratings in Premier League games only to see who had declined the most this season compared to last season. Planet Football said Fernandes still ranks as United's best player this season and is the only one with an average rating above seven. Planet Football said Fernandes has one assist so far this season.
Limited minutes and injuries
Planet Football said Dorgu had played five times in the league so far this season, with two of those appearances as a starter. Planet Football said this winter will mark two years of Dorgu at United. Planet Football said Sesko is yet to start a league game this season and has come off the bench four times, scoring one goal from those league cameos. Planet Football said Sesko is expected to be injured until January. Planet Football said Mazraoui has one league start this season and three substitute appearances, and said his only league start was in the first game of the campaign. Planet Football said all five of Zirkzee's league appearances this season have been as a substitute.
Ratings and individual returns
Planet Football said Heaven has a rating of 6.09 from two starts and two substitute appearances, the lowest in the United squad at the moment. Planet Football said Zirkzee is United's second lowest-rated player after Heaven. Planet Football said Amad is yet to score or assist a goal in the league this season despite starting four times, and said he started the season injured. Planet Football said Cunha has scored once from nine games this season and has a couple of assists.
Other league notes
Planet Football said Lisandro Martinez gave away a penalty and was sent off in United's loss to Chelsea. Planet Football said United are yet to keep a clean sheet in the league this season.
