With 19 goals and 5 assists to his name this season, Marcus Rashford has emerged as one of the favourites to pick up the PFA Young Player of the Year award, a trophy previously won 8 times by Manchester United players over the years. If he were to win the award, Rashford would be following in the footsteps of Wayne Rooney, who picked up the award two years running in 2005 and 2006.

Adding to this, the Manchester United forward has outscored the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and is only one goal away from Raheem Sterling, the current holder of the award.

However, due to injury, Rashford may not get the chance to further compete for the Golden Boot and may even miss the Euros in the summer. This will be a big miss for England who could also be without Harry Kane, leaving their striking options limited ahead of the Euros in the summer, a competition that they are one of the favourites to win.
