7 Contenders For PFA Young Player Of The Year 2019/20

4. Marcus Rashford

Manchester United's campaign in the Premier League so far has been mixed bag at best, but the same cannot be said of star striker Marcus Rashford. He has not only been the standout performer, but also pulled his side out of tight corners on various occasions.

Romelu Lukaku's departure was supposed to create a void upfront, but Rashford has stepped up to the plate and taken the talismanic mantle, netting 14 times from 22 games.

And he simply ain't racking up the numbers either, for the 22-year old has been on target in important games to Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, reminding everyone about his big-game pedigree.

He has successfully inherited the No.10 shirt and led his side with aplomb as well as exemplary consistency. Rashford was having his most productive campaign yet before an unfortunate back injury impeded his amazing run, but has now reportedly recovered.

The English international's interventions will be absolutely crucial to Manchester United's Champions League finish during the final stretch of the season.
