It has been a mixed start to the new season for Manchester United under Ruben Amorim. There were signs of encouragement after their narrow defeat to Arsenal on the opening weekend, but they regressed with a draw at Fulham and a shock exit to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.
They followed it up with a dramatic victory over Burnley before they were thumped by Man City in the derby a month ago. They held on to defeat ten-man Chelsea in their following match but were embarrassed by Brentford and then impressed in their win over Sunderland last time out.
It is hard to know what to expect when they return to action after the October international break. What we can expect though, is certain players to feature heavily over the next few matches. Only four players have featured in every match so far this season and one of them has played even more minutes than club captain Bruno Fernandes.
Here is a look at how many minutes every player has played so far this season.
Heaton has been named in four matchday squads but not played a minute yet.
