Scott McTominay ranks ahead of every Man Utd player on prestigious list and Bruno Fernandes' position sums it up

Scott McTominay ranks ahead of every Manchester United player on a prestigious list as Bruno Fernandes' position sums up the club's shocking season.

McTominay enjoyed a sensational debut campaign with Napoli following his transfer from Man United last summer.

He scored an impressive 12 league goals in his side's Serie A-winning campaign and was crowned the league's MVP.

As for his old side, the Red Devils endured a woeful Premier League campaign and their misery was compounded when they suffered a bruising 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final.

That's despite Fernandes' best efforts as he weighed in with 19 goals across all competitions.

With the 2024/25 season coming to an end, CIES have ranked the most influential players of the campaign by each position.
