And to make matters worse, Nemanja Matic is second on the list with six from 40 games.

Red Devils full-backs Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also feature among the top 17 with four errors each, from 52 and 54 appearances respectively, in a further blow for David de Gea.

Arsenal defender Gabriel and Leeds skipper Luke Ayling both have made six mistakes.

Davinson Sanchez, Adam Webster, Tyrone Mings and James Tarkowski, all centre-backs, are on five.
