It has been just over a year since Marcus Rashford burst onto the scene with Premier League giants Manchester United.

The teenager profited from Anthony Martial’s injury in the warm-up prior to their Europa League clash with Midtjylland on February 25 2016, and took his place in the starting eleven at the expense of the Frenchman.

And the English forward made the most of his chance, firing home a brace to help Louis van Gaal’s side to a 5-1 success and to the last 16 of the competition.

Just three days later, Rashford was a surprise inclusion in the United team to face Arsenal in the Premier League, and he was at it again, scoring twice in three minutes to inspire the Red Devils to a 3-2 win over Arsene Wenger’s men at Old Trafford.

In just 72 hours, the 19-year-old had made a name for himself, and he went on to make his debut for England and indeed score on it against Australia, and then he made Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for their ill-fated European Championships campaign.

Crucial Premier League goals against Aston Villa and Hull, as well as the winner in last year’s Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, means that it has been an unbelievable year for Rashford, but where is the next young starlet going to come from?

Well, we took a look at Manchester City’s pool of young talent, and identified TWO forwards who could become the next Rashford…

Lorenzo Gonzalez

Joe Hardy has seriously impressed for the Under-18 side this term, netting 11 goals in just 15 games, yet Lorenzo Gonzalez has performed even better than that.

The 16-year-old Swiss star has scored 13 goals in just 15 games for the side this season, including eight in his last six, and 12 in his last ten matches.

Gonzalez has only failed to score in five games so far, which has helped City open up an 11-point lead at the top of the Premier Academy League North Division.

If he continues to fire home the goals, the forward will surely go on and become a huge star at the Etihad for years to come.

Paolo Fernandes

The Under-23s are second in Premier League 2 Division One, six points behind Everton, and one man hugely responsible for their fine campaign is forward Paolo Fernandes.

The Spanish youngster has scored ten goals in 17 games for the side this term, including three in his last six, as well as the third in their 3-1 victory over neighbours Manchester United in January.

Key goals in the draw with Tottenham and in the 2-1 success over Reading, as well as two goals against Borussia Monchengladbach in the UEFA Youth League, demonstrate his big-game ability as well as his adeptness to lead the line and heed responsibility when needed.

Fernandes is clearly a very talented striker, and one that could take the world by storm in the next few years.
