Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot is on the initial list of 80 names for the second successive year, having ultimately made the cut for the final 20 players in 2018.
The full-back was included largely for his efforts at Porto last time around but he has settled well in Manchester and made his mark at Old Trafford to earn another Golden Boy inclusion.
Anthony Martial won the trophy in 2015 for his efforts at United and Monaco, while Paul Pogba (2013) and Wayne Rooney (2004) are also previous winners. Pogba was with Juventus when he topped the poll, while Rooney was the second-ever winner, in his first season as a Red, following Rafael van der Vaart's inaugural victory in 2003.
