Striker

Big young striker who's an awkward customer for anyone – including managers

‘Super Mario’ has had a few run-ins with Jose Mourinho (including a very public argument about his attitudes towards training), but the young Italian is a real prospect, capable of some darting runs into the box and neat flick-ons.

A big, powerful striker, he gets his share of goals too. Jose Mourinho tends to keep him up his sleeve on the bench when it comes to European games, but his quick feet and sharp agility should see him vying for a starting place before too long.

Can be a little undisciplined at times (another big Jose bugbear), but his tender years and enthusiasm make up for any perceived immaturity in his game.

Big strong striker, learnt from Zlatan in their time together and that showed in his style of play this season. Can become a great player.
