Sportskeeda's 10 most promising starlets: The 2017 edition

#9 Marcus Rashford – 19 years-old, forward

A jewel at the Theatre of Dreams

In the league, United didn’t really have the season they had hoped for. Finishing below even Arsenal at 6^th, Mourinho must thank his stars for winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League in the process.

Despite the indifference, the fans saw glimpses of hope whenever Marcus Rashford was on the pitch. The 19-year-old provided the fans with excitement with his mazy dribbling abilities and clever one-touch passes in the opponent’s third.

The thing that strikes most about him is his intelligence at such a young age. He is not like those young forwards that often display naïve selfishness in front of goal. Rashford, instead, likes to bring his team-mates into play and that is why he has a bright future ahead of him.
