These 2 Southampton youngsters could be the next Marcus Rashford

It was little over a year ago to the day that Marcus Rashford announced himself on the world stage for Manchester United.

The 19-year-old was a late replacement for the injured Anthony Martial against Midtjylland in their Europa League last-32 clash on February 25 2016, and made the most of his chance by firing home a brace to secure their place in the next round.

Three days later, the striker made Louis van Gaal’s starting line-up against Arsenal in the Premier League, and he continued to ride the wave with two goals in just three minutes to help the Red Devils to a vital 3-2 victory over Arsene Wenger’s Gunners.

Life completely changed for Rashford in those few days a year ago, so who could be the next young star ready to seize their chance in the first team should it come along?

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