5 players who are England's next golden generation

#1 Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford is well on his way towards becoming one of the best English strikers.

The youngest player on the list at 19 years of age, Marcus Rashford burst onto the stage with a brace on his Manchester United debut in a Europe League match last February and becoming United’s youngest ever European scorer. He followed that up by another brace in his Premier League debut against Arsenal becoming the third youngest player at the club to do so at the club.

He further scored the lone goal at Manchester City to secure United their first away win in the Manchester derby since 2012 and also became the youngest ever scorer in the derby. Further, he scored on his League cup debut as well and also in his international debut against Australia last May, becoming the youngest Englishman to score on debut.

Such has been his impact at the senior level that it is fair to say he is a clutch player similar to Dele Alli. Bestowed with loads of pace and athleticism, Rashford has the vision and passing ability that can make him a complete striker down the line. The latter qualities are primarily due to his role as a no.10 while rising through the United ranks. Although his physicality needs improving and so does his fading out in games, Rashford is a bonafide goal scorer and a top player for his age.

The youngster finished just behind Renato Sanches of Bayern Munich in 2016’s Golden Boy award given to the best U-21 player in Europe, underlining his immense potential. If he continues to improve and perform at the same rate, then Manchester United and England have a world-class striker in the making who will lead the line for years to come with aplomb.
