  /  autty

Manchester United have a whole host of talented young players coming through from the academy right now, and we saw evidence of that in the Europa League against FC Astana.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer picked a number of United's youngsters to feature from the start, with three more coming on as substitutes in the second-half.

Young talents like Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes, Dylan Levitt, Ethan Laird, James Garner and Axel Tuanzebe were amongst the players to start in Kazakhstan, with Solskjaer keen to give the club's young players a chance to impress.

So, who are the best prospects at the club right now?

And, who has the most potential?

We used popular football management simulation game Football Manager 2020 to find out.

On Football Manager, current ability is given as a value out of 200, so the closer to 200 your current ability is, the better the player is overall, and the same applies to potential ability on the game.

All players' ages are shown as of the start of the 2019/20 season.

Here are United's best prospects right now according to FM20.
