5 young players who could take next year's World Cup by storm

CSKA Moskva v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League
Golovin could lead Russia to the latter stages

#4 Rodrigo Bentancur

Juventus v AC Chievo Verona - Serie A
Bentancur has tons of potential

Rodrigo Bentancur is a name that probably not many people had heard of until this season, yet such is the quality of the 20-year old that he has had no problem waltzing into the Juventus starting line up.

Bentancur is a versatile player who can play as a number 10, but also in a deeper role. It is in this deeper role that his talent truly comes through. He is agile and strong, and his stamina and passing make him the ideal box to box midfielder.

Uruguay, while stacked in the forward department with two proven world class strikers, need a midfield to help support the front two. Bentancur could become that key figure. In a group that is easily winnable, Bentancur and Uruguay could shine and make a push to the quarterfinals and beyond.
