According to the average ratings from matches in 2024, Whoscored has selected the best XI players who have performed exceptionally well. Despite Manchester United’s fluctuating form, they have contributed two players to the lineup, goalkeeper Andre Onana (7.11 rating) and forward Rasmus Hojlund (7.97 rating).

After a run of 14 consecutive goalless matches in the Premier League, Hojlund ended 2023 with an important goal that helped MU defeat Aston Villa 3-2. This goal, which beat Emiliano Martinez, marked the start of an impressive run of form for the young Danish star in early 2024.

Hojlund has scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists in his last 5 appearances before suffering from an overload injury. His goals have helped the “Red Devils” secure 4 victories and 1 draw against Tottenham. Hojlund has recovered from his injury and is ready to join Old Trafford’s team to secure a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, with hopes of clinching a Champions League spot for the next season.

Meanwhile, Onana also showed impressive form in 2024. The Cameroonian international has improved his reflexes while maintaining his strength in calmly dealing with the ball at his feet. In addition to making crucial saves, Onana has consistently impressed fans with his accurate long-range passes, resembling that of a midfielder.

The match against Luton brought Onana his highest rating of the year (8.64). He currently holds the highest save percentage in the Premier League this season with 74%. Furthermore, the United goalkeeper is also among the players with the most clean sheets in the competition, having kept 8 clean sheets so far.

Arsenal has the highest number of players in the best lineup of 2024, including Gabriel, Martin Odegaard, and Bukayo Saka. This is deserved recognition for Mikel Arteta’s team’s consistent performances this season.

Meanwhile, reigning champions Manchester City also have two honored players: Phil Foden and Rodri. Foden has been in sensational form recently and has become indispensable in the “Cityzens” lineup.

After a two-week break, the Premier League is set to return this weekend with a series of fascinating matches, including the highly anticipated clash between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium at 22:30 on March 31st.
