Alex Telles celebrated reaching 50 appearances for Manchester United after Sunday's defeat to Crystal Palace.
Luke Shaw was in excellent form last season and that restricted Telles to a reduced role from the bench. Shaw has failed to reproduce those levels this term and he's also struggled with injury, which has provided Telles with the chance for more minutes.
Telles played over 2000 minutes for United this season, his most in a campaign since joining the club two years ago, but that has coincided with a nightmare season for the club. Although United were expected to contend for major honours, the Reds recorded their lowest ever Premier League points tally this term and equalled the club's worst trophy drought for 40 years.

Telles made his 18th and final Premier League start of the season at the weekend as United lost 1-0 at Selhurst Park. That result meant United finished the campaign with zero goal difference, a fitting ending for one of the worst campaigns in the club's history.
Regardless, Telles still pondered whether it had been a good season for himself as he celebrated a personal milestone.
"Today I caught myself thinking: was this a good season," Telles wrote on social media on Sunday night.
"Being on a team like United brings great responsibilities. And it wasn't a good season for us, I know, far from it. But for the boy who dreamed of being a football player in Brazil, being able to complete the mark of 50 games for this club.
"I can say that it was something very important for me. Soccer is my life. Let's keep working, always trying to improve. Thank you all."
