Since Michael Carrick’s arrival at Old Trafford, Manchester United have beaten both Manchester City and Arsenal, scoring five goals and only conceding twice.
With the Red Devils on a high, Squawka have used their <a href="https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/">Comparison Matrix</a> to analyse the four most popular Manchester United assets.
&nbsp;
<h3>Bruno Fernandes (£9.5m) &#8211; 23.9% owned</h3>
Manchester United&#8217;s captain has easily been their most consistent player this season, scoring five goals and providing 10 assists in his 20 Premier League appearances.
Fernandes has amassed 121 FPL points so far this season, averaging 6 points per game.
Since Carrick’s arrival, Fernandes has been playing as a more attack-minded midfielder, returning to his familiar number 10 position, as opposed to the deeper midfield role he played under Ruben Amorim.
The Portugal international is one of the league&#8217;s most creative players, providing 0.6 assists per 90 minutes this season, and 3.4 chances per 90.
Fernandes is also on penalties and set-pieces, giving him extra avenues to points and making him an extremely consistent asset.

&nbsp;
<h3>Bryan Mbeumo (£8.3m) &#8211; 15.3% owned</h3>
Mbeumo has impressed since joining United this Summer, having already netted eight times in 18 Premier League appearances.
The 26-year-old is Manchester United’s second-highest FPL scorer this season, scoring 92 points, averaging 5.1 points per game.
Since Carrick’s arrival, Mbeumo has found himself starting as a forward, looking to attack the last line and finding himself in extremely dangerous positions.
Mbeumo is scoring 0.5 goals per 90 this season, averaging 2.4 shots per 90 with a 65.85% shooting accuracy.
Due to the sheer volume of runs Mbeumo makes in behind, he is averaging 5.1 touches in the opposition box per 90, regularly getting into dangerous positions to make things happen.
Mbeumo could be one to watch for another week or two in order to see if he is a minutes risk due to rotation with Benjamin Sesko (£7.2m), but the Cameroon forward could easily go on a strong run in the coming games.
<div id="attachment_75054" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75054" class="size-full wp-image-75054" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/GettyImages-2231897566.jpg" alt="Bryan Mbeumo, Picture by Getty Images" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/GettyImages-2231897566.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/GettyImages-2231897566-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/GettyImages-2231897566-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Bryan Mbeumo.

&nbsp;
<h3>Matheus Cunha (£8.0m) &#8211; 7.7% owned</h3>
Another Summer signing for the Red Devils was Matheus Cunha, who has scored five goals and provided two assists in 20 Premier League appearances so far.
The 26-year-old has scored 79 FPL points so far this season, averaging 4 points per game.
With Patrick Dorgu (£4.4m) picking up an injury which will see him miss the next 10 weeks, Cunha should see his minutes improve off the left, giving him a real chance to shine in Carrick’s system.
Cunha is scoring 0.4 goals per 90, as well as averaging 2.6 shots, and he is taking more shots than both Mbeumo and Fernandes.
The Brazilian is also averaging 2 take-ons and 5 touches in the opposition box per 90, getting himself into dangerous positions in the final third.
With Cunha&#8217;s ownership under the 10% mark and him being a slightly cheaper option, the midfielder could be a differential Manchester United asset to own in the coming run.
<div id="attachment_76709" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-76709" class="size-full wp-image-76709" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GettyImages-2229934284-1.jpg" alt="Matheus Cunha could suit Michael Carrick's system.

&nbsp;
<h3>Diogo Dalot (£4.5m) &#8211; 3.5% owned</h3>
Following coverage of several attacking players, it’s apt that the fourth-most owned player from United is a potential avenue into their defence.
Dalot has made 21 Premier League appearances so far this season, scoring once and providing two assists.
The 26-year-old has scored 71 FPL points which makes him the second-highest scoring defender for United, only behind Dorgu.
He is averaging 3.3 clearances and 1.7 tackles this season per 90, which gives him a small chance of picking up points for defensive contributions, although he has only managed this feat twice so far.
Dalot&#8217;s primary route to points would therefore be clean sheets, and just like his budget-friendly teammate Harry Maguire (£4.3m), he will be relying on Carrick&#8217;s side keeping a few of them to justify his inclusion &#8211; even at this lower price point.
