James Wilson
If there is one thing that England have lacked, since Michael Owen started to go off the boil is a pure goal scorer. While Wayne Rooney has taken over that mantle for country, he has shown time and again that he is better suited to a more withdrawn role.

One player who could solve their striking problems and score bucket loads of international goals is 18-year-old striker James Wilson.
A graduate of United’s youth academy, last season saw Wilson score for the Under-18s, Under-19s, Under-21s and also the senior team. He managed 24 goals in 30 matches in total, last season, which also saw make his U-19 debut with the national side.
