UEFA Nations League: 11 young stars to keep an eye on in the semi-finals

Center-forward: Marcus Rashford, 21, England & Manchester United

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

It seems the young Mancunian has been with us forever already. He broke into the Manchester United first-team set-up under former manager Louis Van Gaal four seasons ago and hasn't looked back since.

Like most of the Red Devils squad, Marcus Rashford endured a difficult campaign at Old Trafford but there is no doubting that he remains one of the brightest prospects in European football.

He scored 10 and assisted 7 times in 33 appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side during the 18/19 EPL campaign, meaning the young forward was directly involved in a goal every other match. He has also managed to grab 6 goals for England since his debut almost 3 years ago.

There were other potential players I looked at with regards to the center-forward position in this dream team of Nations League starlets (Diogo Jota & Breel Embolo) but the truth is that Marcus Rashford, despite having a below-par season due to injury (and the poor form of just about everyone at the club), is still the most exciting talent and does boast the best stats.

There have been tentative transfer rumors linking the skillful forward with a move to Barcelona but we don't see much happening with regards to them: the lad is a Manc and he is playing at the club of his dreams, so it's likely he'll be wearing the famous red and white again next season.

Attacking-midfield: Joao Felix, 19, Portugal & Benfica

Eintracht Frankfurt v Benfica - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final: Second Leg

Joao Felix, once released from FC Porto's youth academy for 'being too small,' is currently the hottest young star on the market, and for good reason: he was instrumental in Benfica's Liga NOS title-winning campaign, scoring 15 goals and assisting 9 in just 26 matches, meaning he directly influences the score every 97 minutes - not bad for your breakthrough season!

He is hotly tipped to make his competitive debut for the Portuguese national side during tonight's match against Switzerland, and there are likely to be scouts from a host of Europe's biggest club sides taking note.

The 19-year-old, who is capable of playing on the right-flank or through the middle as a number ten, has been linked with just about every force in football since the onset of the transfer window; and it does seem that Benfica are willing to listen to offers so long as they reach his release clause of £120 million.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus are among the clubs reported to be chasing his signature.

Left-wing: Steven Bergwijn, 21, Netherlands & PSV Eindhoven

PSV v FC BATE Borisov - UEFA Champions League

Not an awful lot was known about Steven Bergwijn outside of his native Holland up until this past season, but some impressive performances for a PSV Eindhoven side, who came so close to lifting the Eredivisie title, have put him on the radar of both clubs and fans around Europe.

The pacey right-footed winger likes to operate on the left flank, where he is able to use his dribbling skills to cut inside to shoot or create chances for teammates. But, he is effective in any attacking position due to his technical ability on the ball, shooting skills, and change of pace.

He will more than likely make an appearance for the Netherlands during tomorrow's match against England and don't be surprised to see Manchester United scouts in the crowd, with the club looking at him as a potential successor to Alexis Sanchez (should he leave) on the left wing.

Here is our final XI:
