The battle to be the best young player in the Premier League is often a hotly contested one.

Over the years, we’ve seen some truly brilliant young stars in the Premier League and the last few years have seen yo🌼unger players pick up big awards.

Indeed, last year saw Phil Foden win the player of the year award in the 💟Premier League at just 23, while the year before Erling ♏Haaland grabbed the prize.

The likes of Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale and Cristiano R🅠onaldo have all won it at a young age as well.

Of course, going into this year, the battle is on again and two of the top young players in t𓄧he game right now are Manc🃏hester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Liverpool midfielder, Harvey Elliott.

And over on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher haꦕs 🔜picked who he feels is the better young player right now.

Jamie Carragher picks Kobbie Mainoo over Harvey Elliott

Picking between Mainoo, Elliott and Adam Wharton, Carragher went straight to the number one sp𝓰ot in picking Mainoo and didn’t even question it.

While there was little discussion on Mainoo, Carragher and Gary Neville bothܫ nodded to how good M🐓ainoo was in the FA Cup final, as well as his impact for England at the Euros.

The duo went with Mainoo at number one, Elliott at numb🦋er two, and Palace’s Wharton in third.

Interestingly, Gary Neville suggested Elliott as ⛦a player who could thrive at Manchester City.

Kobbie Mainoo is Manchester United’s future

I🦋t’s quite remarkable that Kobbie Maino🔥o is still only 19 but here we are.

After his efforts with England in the summer, it very much feels like🐬 we are witnessing the start of a player who could domin𓄧ate for years in the Premier League.

Manchester United must be counting their lucky stars that they’ve developed and brought through sꩲuch a talent.

Indeed, when you look at England, the mܫere mention of this trio here should fill any future ꦛmanager with huge confidence.
