I think off the top of my head:

1. Rashford 22/23
2. De Gea 15/16
3. Martial 15/16
4. Rooney 13/14 (gets underrated on here because he dropped off so much after and the rest of the team were so bad)
5. Rashford 19/20
6. Shaw 20/21
7. Smalling 15/16 (another underrated one, he was very good
8. Martial 19/20
9. Bruno 19/20
10. Pogba 18/19

How the funk have you missed out Zlatan?

I was about to reply to this straight away saying that, obviously he is well up there!
My favourite post-SAF season that. Started with a really fun win at Wembley with Zlatan bullying the shit out of Morgan, then we had another fun league cup final with so much happening and in which Zlatan once again won the day.
Had some great last minute drama (Palace away), Liverpool with a late goal too, only lost 8 games all season in all competitions and just 5 in the league (our best since SAF), Pogba had times looking every bit World Class, and finished it off with a EL title.

We drew too many, but even then we were often extremely unlucky.

For one season at least, Zlatan helped install a post-SAF squad with a mentality that wasn’t that of absolute losers.

De Gea in 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2017/2018 was our best player by a country mile, and ahead of anyone else in any other season.

After him, Bruno in 2019/2020. It was magical when he joined. Revived the team on his own back then.

Then Rashford last season. His goals were the main reason we finished top 4.

De Gea would surely have more then just one season.

De Gea could nearly make up the entire top 5 by himself along with maybe Rashford last year.

Bruno being so low there makes no sense. He completely carried us that season.

De Gea in 2017-18 was the only true stand-out performance throughout a whole season. He was basically the only reason United finished second with their highest tally in the post-Ferguson era.

You can't carry a team with 3 forwards scoring 62 goals between them over the season.

His 1st full season in 20/21 is the one that should get a mention.

It would up til January, after that he and the rest of the team dropped off hugely imo, Cavani ended up being our most important player at that stage.

He could yeah, I just thought for variety I'd pick one. It was hard to choose but for me his best year was LVG second season, though you could easily argue LVGs first or Mourinhos first two as well.

Yeh I would agree that was one of our best post Fergie seasons. Having Poona and Ibra firing together was a brilliant watch at times. Annoyingly I think there was still abit of Mourinho sabotage sprinkled in when it came to performances and big moments and I didn’t like the way we threw away the league results towards the end.
