Gary Neville and Jaap Stam have disagreed over the Player of the Season at Man Utd with a number of legends asked for their opinion.
The signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho gave the Red Devils faithful hope that they could get closer to challenging for the Premier League title this season.
