Default Re: Young players to keep an eye on

Giuseppe Rossi - Manchester United, 19 years old.

Plays a very similar position to Wayne Rooney behind his partnering striker. Very quick, excellent touch, and great passing ability. Scored 26 goals for the reserves this year as they claimed the treble but didn't get much chance to break into the first team with Rooney, Saha, and Ruud all ahead of him. Put one away against Sunderland on his premiership debut and 2 against Burton in the FA Cup. Joined from Parma two years ago and just signed a 2 year extension today. Born and grew up in New Jersey but has shown interest in playing for Italy after having played for their youth teams. Look for him to get a lot more first team action with Ruud probably on his way out.
