5. Daley Blind - Manchester United
Daley Blind has crept into the Manchester United first team without making a sound. Hurried through the Old Trafford doors alongside a wealth of other (more attack-minded) superstars, the Dutch centre back has been Louis van Gaal's best purchase. Deployed at centre back this season the versatile midfielder is an invaluable player at Man United and gives the squad a welcome experience in amongst van Gaal's transition. Memphis Depay is rightfully the most exciting talent at the club but Blind's overall contribution has been fantastic and the 26-year-old could be a crucial player for the Red Devils as they look to become title challengers again.
