Manchester United is well-known for providing opportunities for young players to shine, and this season has been no exception. Kobbie Mainoo is the most notable player to have taken the Premier League by storm, lately scoring the winner away to Wolverhampton Wanderers, although Willy Kambwala and Omari Forson are also examples of this.

Alejandro Garnacho was the breakthrough star of last season, and he has succeeded this season with seven goals in all competitions, but let’s see who Erik ten Hag might give a chance to next.Shola Shoretire could be the next to starShola Shoretire has been a young player for years, and he made his Premier League debut against Newcastle three years ago this month. During that season, he also made his UEFA Europa League debut, was United’s top scorer in the Premier League 2, and won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year title, which Rashford won in 2015/16.

Last season, the English forward acquired first-team experience in men’s football after a 16-game loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in League One, where he scored once.As you can see, the 20-year-old has totally dominated every opponent in the youth squad this season, and he is simply waiting for another chance to shine in the first team.He did get minutes during United’s pre-season tour, but he didn’t get the chance to play with the regular starting; however, it shouldn’t be long before he gets his chance, as he is a “special player” according to Statman Dave – and based on the tape below, it’s hard to disagree.

Shoretire is both a goal scorer and a facilitator, making him similar to Rashford, who has 74 career assists for the Red Devils.Ten Hag will be hoping that another English attacker coming through the academy can achieve the same level as the England international and become Rashford 2.0.
