Manchester United are in flying form and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run when they face Stoke at the weekend.

The Red Devils haven't lost in their past 15 games following disastrous start to the season at Old Trafford.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's hot streak in front of goal has stolen the headlines, with the Swede scoring 14 times in 20 games for Jose Mourinho's men.

However, it was Antonio Valencia who provided the assist for the late leveller against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Ecuadorian has put in more deliveries than any other Premier League player so far this term, according to data provided by EA Sports.

Right-back Valencia has made 26 crosses - two more than his nearest rival, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne.

Andros Townsend, Southampton's Cedric Soares also rank high on the list.

Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has completed more passes (1224) than any other United player, followed by Ander Herrera and Valencia.
