Who do you think is the Manchester United player that's had the biggest positive impact in 2022?
The Fans' Footballer of the Year Award is in its third year, and gives fans of all Premier League clubs the chance to vote for the player they feel has had the biggest impact over the calendar year.
It was another tumultuous 12 months at Old Trafford, but there were some successes in the squad, and four of them - Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, David De Gea and Christian Eriksen - have been nominated for the United award.

Here are the United Fans' Footballer of the Year nominations:
Diogo Dalot
A beneficiary of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking, Dalot has been on an upward curve over the last year and has particularly improved under Erik ten Hag. Dalot bought into Ten Hag's methods during pre-season and a right-back once solely renowned for his attacking has become defensively dependable. Until his suspension at Fulham, Dalot was the only United player who had started every game this season.
Lisandro Martinez
Given the crises that engulfed United in the second half of last season, it is hardly a jolt their player of the season so far is a summer signing. Martinez has proved almost everyone wrong with his combative defending, piercing passing and fierce mentality. Since he truculently barged into Mohamed Salah, he has emerged as a cult hero at United and is already one of their most important players.
David de Gea
One of a handful to emerge from the wreckage of last season intact, De Gea has had a reasonable year still blighted by his exile from the Spain squad. For United, he is still capable of world-class goalkeeping in his 12th season at the club and there were occasions last term he was as much of a matchwinner as Cristiano Ronaldo.
Christian Eriksen
Eriksen is the battery in the watch that makes United tick. United have not had such creative craft in their central midfield since Michael Carrick and Eriksen's impact has been so immediate and impressive that no right-minded United fan is pining for Frenkie de Jong. Eriksen rejected United three times before finally joining them and the wait has been worth it.
