#3 Andreas Pereira
There are many reasons why making the switch up from reserve team football to the first-team is difficult. One of the main reasons is the sudden change in the physicality of opponents, especially in England. While you might mostly be playing against players of the same age and physique in the reserves, when you come up against bigger, stronger and faster players, you need to be able to adapt quickly.
Ever since he signed from PSV Eindhoven, Andreas Pereira has been one who has been marked for the future. The main reason for that is his football intelligence. As an attacking midfielder, he has the ability to not just beat his man but also pick a pass. Comfortable in possession and an excellent set-piece taker as well, the Belgium-born Brazilian playmaker has all the attributes to succeed at the highest level.
While injury might have robbed him of an opportunity to impress towards the end of last season, if he continues performing at his current rate for both his national team and the reserves, it won't be long before Pereira becomes a familiar name at Old Trafford.
