As the youngsters play away from the league, it allows scouts to see them flourish in a totally different environment than their usual ones, against teams that are not really used to playing against regularly.

Over the weekend, one such game was the one between Anderlecht and Monaco, with a total of five Premier League teams, including scouts from Manchester United said to be present in Belgium for the game.

The Red Devils already signed Anthony Martial from Monaco this summer and could now be monitoring a new set of targets for the future.

Two such young stars across the continent who were playing in the game on Thursday night were Youri Tielemans of Anderlecht and Bernardo Silva of Monaco.
