5 youngsters who can break into Manchester United's first-team next season

Manchester United v Reading - The Emirates FA Cup Third Round
Rashford and Fosu-Mensah are two of United's most recent prospects to breakthrough, but who will join them?

#1 Tahith Chong

Tahith is equally famous for his football talent as well as wacky hairstyles

Tahith Chong is the most popular player on this list. Equally famous for his hairdo as he is for his football, Chong never fails to catch the eye.

Manchester United have lacked natural width and pace on the right-wing. Juan Mata has occupied the role recently, but is not the quickest - nor much of a long-term solution, having celebrated his 30th birthday this weekend.

Mourinho has repeatedly stated he will not sign anymore attacking players and that in itself, is easy to see why. The 18-year-old has recovered well from a serious injury that kept him on the sidelines for 10 months and crucially, impresses whenever chosen for either the under-18 or under-23 sides.

He has netted six goals with two further assists in 15 appearances this term and is regarded as the ideal player for United's right-wing issues. Capable of playing across the frontline with a deadly left foot to boot, an excellent workrate and physical presence will have easily helped attract Jose's attention.

It's just a matter of time before Tahith Chong makes his first-team debut.
