Manchester United have revealed the current leader for man of the match awards so far this season.
The awards are voted by supporters after games in all competitions, and there is a clear winner up until this point.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is top goalscorer Marcus Rashford who has amassed more vote wins than any other players.
Rashford has netted 20 goals already this season and is on course to surpass his career best tally of 22 goals from three seasons ago.

Most man of the match awards so far
Manchester United’s website reveals Marcus Rashford has led the voting with eight man of the match award wins in 2022/23 so far.
Six of Rashford’s award wins have come since the World Cup, with the England forward returning from the tournament in outstanding form.
He also has eight assists to add to his 20 goals, which included the derby winner against City last month.
He is followed by summer signing Casemiro, with the Brazilian voted man of the match five times, which is impressive considering he did not start a league game until October.
It is actually breakout star Alejandro Garnacho who follows next. All four of the teenager’s man of the match awards came before the World Cup break.
Lisandro Martinez has three awards, including last week’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho have two each, with the latter voted star man upon his goalscoring return against Leeds in midweek.
Rashford’s dominance reflects his performances, and he is a strong contender for the club’s player of the season award, however, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez will also be popular candidates.
There is a lot of football to be played, and it is at least positive that there are lots of outfield contenders for the award this year, where last season, it felt like there were few deserving winners.
Rashford will be looking to extend his man of the match award wins when Manchester United take on Leeds at Elland Road this weekend.
