#3 Mason Greenwood | Striker
Mason Greenwood has been the star of the Manchester United academy, rising through the ranks and into the first team. He was given his breakthrough under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his faith has been repaid. Greenwood is widely regarded as the best natural finisher at Manchester United, which says a lot about his talent in a squad full of world-class players. His ability to create space and get his shot off with a minimal backlift gives goalkeepers no chance.

His left-footed shot at the near post is already becoming something of a trademark. Many fans have compared him to former Dutch striker Robin van Persie in terms of style of play. He is incredibly strong on either foot which makes it so difficult to defend him. Greenwood currently plays on the right wing but he has been earmarked as a future striker at Manchester United. With more game time in the physically demanding Premier League and the right guidance under Solskjaer, Greenwood is surely a star for the future.
#2 Marcus Rashford | Winger
This list would not be complete without this man. Marcus Rashford made his debut in the Europa League following an injury to Anthony Martial. With no strikers on the bench, Louis van Gaal was forced to start him up top. He scored a brace on his debut, followed by another against Arsenal in the Premier League. He has not looked back since. Rashford has now developed into a world-class forward blessed with mind-blowing pace and trickery.
He's a big game player as well, scoring against the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Spurs. He has already established himself as a regular in the team. Coming through the Manchester United academy, he has won the FA Cup, Europa League, and Carabao cup with the first team. Still 23, he has plenty of time and potential to get even better and become a Manchester United legend.
#1 Paul Pogba | Midfielder
Paul Pogba: World Cup winner. Paul Pogba is undoubtedly the most successful Manchester United academy graduate of recent times. Albeit a lot of this success came outside United. He's also the only academy graduate that cost them a fortune. It all started when Pogba left as a young free agent after a disagreement between Sir Alex Ferguson and his agent Mino Raiola.
Pogba joined Juventus and the world took notice. He established himself as a world-class young midfielder, who flourished in the Serie A. He honed his skills in the league and had all the big clubs looking at him. Manchester United eventually swooped in, paying a then world-record fee.
Under Jose Mourinho, Pogba won the Europa League and Carabao Cup. Since then, Pogba has been the talk of the town at United, with his stint being full of drama and fans polarized in opinion. The incredibly talented Frenchman could be on his way out, with PSG interested. But there is no denying Pogba has been the best Manchester United academy graduate of recent times.
