#1 Continued rise of the youth

Manchester United are well known for having one of the most efficient youth systems in the world, and rightly so. The Red Devils managed to lead the tally for most minutes given to youth prospects last season.
Leading the exciting prospects is none another than Marcus Rashford, who has captivated the world with his style of play.
Yet another surprise, has come in the form of the emergence of Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, who has partnered Nemanja Matic brilliantly in the absence of Pogba and Ander Herrera.
The 21-year-old seems the ideal replacement for veteran Micheal Carrick, who is retiring at the end of the season.
The trust in academy graduates seems to reap for United, as it is evident in the case of Jesse Lingard who has popped up into the scene with 15 goals and 4 assists to his name in a relatively short span.
