We\u2019ve already looked into our crystal balls and predicted the top 10 players in major leagues for FIFA 21, as well as suggesting some players destined for significant upgrades. Now, though, we\u2019re focusing on the red half of Manchester who, despite being one of the world\u2019s biggest football clubs, have struggled to really challenge since Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s departure way back in 2013. In order to make our predictions, we\u2019ll be looking at how the players have played so far, as well as their existing FIFA 20 ratings. We\u2019ll focus on five to begin with, then give a broader overview of the rest of the squad. Paul Pogba \u2013 88 > 87 Pogba is, in many ways, a tricky one to predict. The French midfielder is one of the most naturally talented players in the world, but questions over his attitude and fitness have clouded his future in Manchester. The remaining PL fixtures could prove decisive in whether he stays in England. Either way, we\u2019ve gone for a downgrade of one based on his lack of appearances this season, and his struggles with keeping fit. David De Gea \u2013 89 > 87 We\u2019ve also gone for a downgrade of two to the OVR of David De Gea, the Spaniard who has been United\u2019s number one for nearly a decade now. However, many football fans will have seen a noticeable decline in his consistency, with uncharacteristic mistakes creeping in. On his day he\u2019s still a top keeper, but his mistakes are costing his predicted rating, and Man United. Marcus Rashford \u2013 83 > 85 We\u2019re predicting an upgrade of two for Marcus Rashford, as the young England forward continues to impress for the Red Devils. He received four boosted cards in FIFA 20, including a FUT Birthday card, and a TOTSSF card. Still only 22, his upwards trajectory could see him become one of the PL\u2019s most feared forwards in the coming seasons. Anthony Martial \u2013 83 > 84 Martial has also proved himself to be slightly above his FIFA 20 rating. Playing more as an out and out striker this season, he has impressed and proved his talents, racking up 11 goals and 3 assists in 23 appearances. Bruno Fernandes \u2013 85 > 87 Fernandes has seriously impressed in his time at Man Utd so far. Joining in January from Sporting Lison, many fans were surprised at how fast he was thrown into the mix by Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r. However, his early form saw him rack up numerous goals and assists, to the point of being crowned February\u2019s POTM. His influence going forward will only increase, but we\u2019re going for a modest upgrade of two, simply because he\u2019s not been at United long enough to warrant a more generous OVR boost. Man Utd FIFA 21 Player Rating Predictions We\u2019ll now round up the FIFA 21 rating by predicting how the rest of the squad will look. Mason Greenwood looks likely to get a major upgrade, while others look set for modest changes. Juan Mata \u2013 82 > 81 &#8211; Harry Maguire \u2013 82 > 82 &#8211; Jesse Lingard \u2013 82 > 79 &#8211; Luke Shaw \u2013 81 > 81 &#8211; Nemanja Matic \u2013 81 > 80 &#8211; Victor Lindelof \u2013 81 > 81 &#8211; Sergio Romero \u2013 80 > 80 &#8211; Eric Bailly \u2013 80 > 80 &#8211; Aaron Wan-Bissaka \u2013 79 > 81 &#8211; Phil Jones \u2013 79 > 78 &#8211; Fred \u2013 79 > 80 &#8211; Marcos Rojo \u2013 78 > 78 &#8211; Scott McTominay \u2013 77 > 79 &#8211; Andreas Pereira \u2013 77 > 77 &#8211; Dan James \u2013 77 > 78 &#8211; Diogo Dalot \u2013 75 > 76 &#8211; Mason Greenwood \u2013 67 > 76 &#8211; What ratings do you think we\u2019ll see for Man Utd\u2019s players?
