The top five players, in order of squad numbers, are as follows...

Marco Silvestri
Apps: 40

The summer signing from Chievo has impressed in his debut season in English football, producing several match-winning performances with his heroics between the sticks. Stand-out games include the 1-0 victories over Bolton at home and Middlesbrough away, as well as his crucial late penalty save to secure the three points against Ipswich Town. Silvestri has kept 12 clean sheets in his 40 Championship outings this campaign.

Sam Byram
Apps: 33

The 21-year-old Academy product has been a regular fixture in the side throughout the season, starring in both full-back and wing roles down United’s right. Byram has three goals to his name so far this campaign, with his first coming in January’s Yorkshire derby triumph over Huddersfield before adding to his tally against Reading and Fulham. He claimed this award, alongside Young Player of the Year and Fans’ Player of the Year, at the end of the 2012/13 season. 

Luke Murphy
Apps: 26

The 25-year-old midfielder has been ever-present and a key part of Neil Redfearn’s side since returning to the fold for January’s FA Cup trip to Sunderland. His late strike rescued a point against Birmingham before a stunning effort sealed all three against Bournemouth the following week. He also netted from distance in the 2-0 win away to Reading and has received praise from the United head coach for his dominant displays in midfield.

Lewis Cook
Apps: 38

The England Under-19s midfielder burst onto the scene at the start of the campaign and soon established himself as one of the first names on the United team-sheet. Cook’s 38 appearances in all competitions make him the outfield player who has featured the most so far this season, earning international recognition along the way. The 18-year-old has operated in a number of positions across the midfield and is regarded as one of the club’s brightest prospects for some time.

Alex Mowatt
Apps: 32

The 20-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a productive season in front of goal, netting eight goals from his 31 games so far. Mowatt’s form saw him collect the Football League Young Player of the Month award for November, as well as earning England call-ups at Under-20s level. He was the match-winner for the 1-0 victories over Millwall, Middlesbrough and Wigan, and also hit a stunning double in the 2-2 draw at home to Charlton.
