Although the ceremony was held remotely, the Premier League said “it was still important to recognise the many achievements and success stories across our Academies this season.”
Marcus Rashford won the 2019/20 Academy Graduate award, succeeding Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. The prize is handed out to those who have come through the Academy system and not only excelled with their on-field performances but also acted as role models.
“Thank you very much, on behalf of the Academy,” said Rashford. “It's obviously a massive step up to get into the Manchester United first team but one that all the young kids are prepared to make because of the way the coaches coach them.
