Erik ten Hag has used 43 players in his two seasons in charge of Manchester United and it is club captain Bruno Fernandes who has unsurprisingly led the way for minutes played under the Dutch manager.
Ten Hag has had to ring the changes this season in the midst of an unrelenting injury crisis and Fernanes missed his first game for the club as a result of a fitness issue on Monday night, when United were beaten 4-0 at Crystal Palace.
The 29-year-old has played 9,202 minutes across Ten Hag's two seasons in charge, however, which is the equivalent of 102 90-minute appearances. Ten Hag's tenure now stretches to 110 games in all competitions, which shows how often Fernandes has featured.

Fernandes is so far ahead at the top of the chart of minutes played that the next most-used player, Diogo Dalot, has played almost 2,000 minutes fewer and the equivalent of 22 fewer full matches. Marcus Rashford is third on the list, just 10 minutes behind the right-back.
Casemiro comes in fourth on 6,200 minutes and David de Gea remains the fifth most-used player at 5,250 minutes, despite leaving the club at the end of last season. Antony is sixth on 4,981 minutes.
Luke Shaw is seventh, Raphael Varane eighth, Aaron Wan-Bissaka ninth and Christian Eriksen 10th. Harry Maguire is only the 16th most-used player by Ten Hag, despite his renaissance this season. Wout Weghorst played more minutes in the second half of last season than Sofyan Amrabat has in the entirety of this campaign.
Jadon Sancho, despite his exile, has appeared more often under Ten Hag than Anthony Martial. Both players look set to depart United permanently this summer.
At the bottom of the list, Brandon Williams has played just five minutes under Ten Hag, coming off the bench in the Carabao Cup win against Burnley in December 2022, while Charlie McNeil's eight minutes were in the Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad at Old Trafford.
