Meanwhile, Mainoo was placed in seventh.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abola.pt\/futebol\/noticias\/golden-boy-joao-neves-cai-uma-posicao-saiba-para-quem-2024051108462770944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fresh update<\/a>, the two youngsters have seen their positions drop as United continue to struggle on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>The Argentine winger is now in fourth position after being overtaken by Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery.<\/p>\n<p>Mainoo has also come down from seventh to ninth, with Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona) and Rico Lewis (Manchester City) now ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>Reported United target Neves has also dropped from second to third. The Portugal international <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2024\/05\/09\/manchester-united-eyeing-benfica-wonderkid-joao-neves-as-casemiros-replacement-279971\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been mentioned<\/a> to be a prime target for the Reds and has been earmarked as a replacement for the ageing Casemiro.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the factors considered in coming up with the ranking include players&#8217; performances, with metrics such as playing time, transfers and various other variations of the Golden Boy Football Benchmark Index being taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that could explain why Garnacho and Mainoo have dropped is fatigue. The two have been overused and in past games, seem to be tired and suffering from burnout.<br \/>\n<HR><br \/>\n<em>Want to be the first to hear breaking Man United news?
