'Massive' - Andy Cole names his Manchester United Player of the Year
Manchester United's campaign is drawing to a close and fans have been discussing who should be crowned their Player of the Season
Andy Cole believes Marcus Rashford should win Manchester United's Player of the Season award.
Erik ten Hag's side have one Premier League match left to play and sit fourth in the table. United need only one point to guarantee qualification for the Champions League after Liverpool's dropped points against Aston Villa.
A top-four finish and a Carabao Cup triumph would be a successful season for United, with possible glory in the FA Cup on the cards too. A win for the Reds on June 3 would also deny Manchester City a chance to emulate United's 1999 treble.

With the season drawing to a close, discussion has increased about Player of the Year nominees. Cole believes Rashford should win the award after scoring 28 goals in all competitions.
“I’d go with Marcus [Rashford],” Cole told Stretty News. “I know Luke Shaw has done extremely well but without Rashford’s goals we wouldn’t find ourselves in the position we find ourselves in.
“I think his goals have been massive for Manchester United this season. I think we’ve lacked goals all season but I think it has to be Marcus for the way he’s come back.”
Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro are other obvious candidates for the award. Martinez and Casemiro have both impressed in their debut seasons in English football while Shaw has been a consistent performer for Ten Hag at left back and, when required, at centre half.
