Top 5 contenders for the PFA Young Player of the Year | Premier League 2019-20 

2. Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Marcus Rashford

With over 200 appearances for Manchester United and 38 caps for England, you could be forgiven for thinking that Marcus Rashford is a veteran of many years but the truth is that he is still only 22.

He has come a long way from being a prodigiously talented teenager who captured the imagination of the world on his professional debut and after many seasons of unfulfilled promise, Rashford finally seems set to fulfill his undoubted potential.

He has been the brightest spark in what has been another dour campaign for Manchester United and currently leads the way as the club's top scorer by a long mile.

On a personal level, the England international has broken his individual season-tally with 19 goals in all competitions and seemed on course for his first 30-goal season until a back injury suffered against Wolves in the FA Cup halted his progress.

Rashford has been near unstoppable of late, evidenced by the fact that he was named PFA Player of the Month of December 2019 and fans of the Red Devils would be sweating on his fitness to aid in their quest for a top-four finish.

With several nominations, he has been an almost ever-present contender for the PFA Player of the Year over the last few years but has never won it and if he can return from injury to fire his boyhood club to glory, this could be the year he breaks his duck.
