Tuanzebe has been a promising talent for United recently

Manchester United have an exciting crop of young talent coming up from their academy at the moment.

Axel Tuanzebe is yet another player who has found his utility in Mourinho's team, so far.

The 20-year-old is currently on a six-month loan at Aston Villa. The player has impressed the Portuguese boss with his composure, versatility and strength at an early age.

The English defender shackled Alexis Sanchez at the Emirates last season and caught the attention.

He played an important role in United's injury prone side till January before being loaned to Villa. Playing alongside John Terry, the Englishman is gathering invaluable experience.

He prefers to play at the centre-back position but the Portuguese boss has used him at the right-back role. The defender's adaptability in the new role stunned the fans.

He appears to be a bright prospect so far for the Red Devils. A good pre-season would make him a genuine contender for his place in United's defence.
