Sheffield United are halfway through the current Premier League season, and it’s fair to say that things haven’t quite gone the way they would have wanted so far.
Bottom of the table and with just five points from their 19 league games so far, United will have to drastically improve their results in the second half of the campaign if they are to stand any chance of preserving their Premier League status.
But at this stage, who has been United’s most impressive performer? We had a look back at our player ratings from every league game so far, to come up with an average for each player who has five or more ratings.
