Manchester United stars among most in-form Dream Team assets in EVERY position

MANCHESTER UNITED were forced to weather a storm on Sunday but when all was said and done they beat Luton 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.

Not even the most partisan Old Trafford season ticket holder would claim the Red Devils are suddenly the finished article but fans have been given every reason to be optimistic since the turn of the year.

Erik ten Hag’s are undefeated in their last seven games in all competitions and victory over the Hatters made it four consecutive league wins.

As a result of this upturn, Man United boast some of the most in-form Dream Team assets right now… in EVERY position.

Andre Onana (£3.3m) averages six points-per-game across his last three outings – a rate only matched by Mark Flekken (£2m) among goalkeepers.

The Cameroon international kept a clean sheet against West Ham before he produced EIGHT saves to frustrate Aston Villa in Gameweek 23.

Despite some shaky performances throughout the first half of the season, the ex-Inter custodian is currently the best performer in his position with 140 points overall.

Onana has been forced to make 116 saves already in 2023/24, the most among all keepers at this stage.

Unsurprisingly, Arsenal defenders dominate the form table having kept clean sheets against West Ham and Burnley but Diogo Dalot (£3.4m) is rubbing shoulders with the likes of William Saliba (£3.3m) and Gabriel (£3.9m) at the top of the charts.

The Portuguese full-back has produced 21 points in his last three games via the aforementioned clean sheet against the Hammers and what proved to be a decisive assist at Villa Park.

He has also a good habit of earning bonus points, as evidenced by the three he picked at Luton to come away with a respectable six-point return in total.

Dalot is also one of the most prolific tacklers in his position – only five defenders have registered more this term.

In midfield, it’s Alejandro Garnacho (£3.5m) who appears among the most in-form players at present.

The teenage winger assisted one his side’s goals on Sunday but also registered two big chances created and two shots on target – arguably he should have scored to seal the points in the second half.

The Argentina starlet was the match-winner at home to David Moyes’ mob at the start of the month.

Garnacho’s brace in that fixture earned him 15 points, his best single-game haul return of the campaign.

At the time of writing, he averages nine points-per-game across his last three outings – just six assets in his position have outperformed him in the same time frame and that list includes heavy hitters such as Kevin De Bruyne (£6.2m) and Bukayo Saka (£5.7m).

Last but not least, only Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz (£2m) is preventing Rasmus Hojlund (£3.8m) from being heralded as Dream Team’s most in-form striker.

The Denmark international has racked up a whopping 31 points in his last three games via four goals.

More broadly, he’s scored eight goals in as many games in all competitions since Boxing Day!

Dream Team managers would do well to consider Man United’s form men ahead of Gameweek 25.

Ten Hag’s side host Fulham this Saturday before an FA Cup trip to Nottingham Forest in midweek – a relatively friendly double header on paper.

Hojlund and Dalot in particular have the potential to be smart selections for this coming Gameweek.

It should be noted that United play Manchester City away as their lone fixture in Gameweek 26 but gaffers will have more transfers available by then so those who decide to back Hojlund and Dalot/Garnacho could feasibly switch it up again before that tricky match-up at the Etihad.
