#3 Marcus Rashford - 20-years-old

Given what he's managed to achieve with Raheem Sterling, one wonders what Pep Guardiola would have been able to do with Marcus Rashford, especially when one considers Jose Mourinho's record with promising youngsters. The Manchester United youngster has been at the end of a few less-than-generous comments from Mourinho, despite his impressive contribution so far.

9 goals and 8 assists with the season halfway gone is no mean feat for a 20-year-old making infrequent appearances for one of the world's biggest clubs in an unfavoured position.

One yearns to see Rashford play in the central striking role he so desires - perhaps Mourinho is simply ensuring his rise is steady instead of swift - but then again there remains a nagging doubt that Rashford could do so much more, if only he was handed some more trust from his boss.

Either way, Rashford is destined for greatness, whether it is under Mourinho or someone else.
