Grading the past Golden Boys

2014 Raheem Sterling

Sterling has been rejuvenated under Guardiola

Part of the triumvirate alongside Sturridge and Suarez that fired Liverpool ever so close to the EPL title in 2014, Sterling earned himself a transfer to Manchester City off the back of his exploits.

Pacy and with quick acceleration, Sterling blew hot and cold at Manchester City, with many believing he was not worth the hype.

Sterling was the archetypal English winger who had plenty of speed but fell short in technique, with his decision making in the final third very questionable and it was believed that he would not cope under Pep Guardiola.

However, the Catalan has taken him under his wing and has refined Sterling into a cornerstone in his all conquering side.

Verdict - On his way to greatness

2015 Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial

The 2015 Golden Boy transferred from Monaco to Manchester United and made an instant mark, scoring a wonder goal in his debut match against none other than Liverpool.

After the departure of Louis Van Gaal, Martial's place in the team wasn't guaranteed anymore, and he faced loads of criticisms from Jose Mourinho.

Having fallen out of favour with his manager cost him a place in the French World Cup winning squad, but Martial has seen his contributions improve massively in recent weeks and is currently Manchester United's highest goalscorer this season.

Verdict - Might have to play under another manager to fulfil his potential
