Top 10 young footballers to watch out for this season

Girona FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

#2 Marcus Rashford

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester United - Premier League

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United has failed to retain their former dominance over the English football.

But with the arrival of Jose Mourinho couple of seasons back things are starting to improve for the Red Devils and playing a key role in the Jose Mourinho squad is the young English striker Marcus Rashford who is just 20 years old and already shown what he is capable of as he has delivered some game-winning performances for United.

This season, he has been trusted with the No.10 shirt which was previously worn by great names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the club's all-time leading scorer Wayne Rooney.

#1 Kylian Mbappe

France v Croatia - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final

Undoubtedly the best young player in the world is none other than Kylian Mbappe. The 19-year-old who is not only the second most expensive transfer ever but also recently won the best young player in the World Cup and before that he won the golden boy award in 2017.

He has already been in comparison with some of the best players in the world like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and his club teammate Neymar.

Let's hope he will continue his great form this year too and he might be the one to break the dominance of Messi and Ronaldo for winning Ballon d'Or.
