Rashford and Fosu-Mensah up for award

Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Tim Fosu-Mensah have been nominated for this year's Golden Boy award.

The accolade was established by Italian newspaper Tuttosport in 2003 and recognises the achievements of footballers under the age of 21 playing in a European top tier, with journalists from 30 major newspapers across the continent casting their votes to decide the winner.

Three members of the current first-team squad are among the former recipients of the prize. Reds captain Wayne Rooney scooped the award at the end of his extraordinary breakthrough season at Old Trafford in 2004, while Paul Pogba saw off the competition while with Juventus in 2013, a year after his first spell at United came to an end.
