Marcus Rashford has been named on a 25-man shortlist for this year’s Golden Boy award, which crowns the best young player in Europe.
The Reds forward has enjoyed a remarkable rise since making his first-team debut for the club in February 2016 and has made a strong start to 2017/18 with three goals so far this season.
The 19-year-old is one of six young Englishmen nominated for the Golden Boy accolade, along with Liverpool duo Joe Gomez and Dominic Solanke, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, West Ham defender Reece Oxford and Tottenham’s Kyle Walker-Peters, while the inclusion of Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus means there are a total of seven Premier League players in contention.
