It was another start and another goal for Sunderland wonderkid Chris Rigg last week as Manchester United watch on. The Red Devils are among a number of clubs reportedly tracking the highly-rated England youth international - who continues to boast some of the best statistics in front of goal for players under the age of 20.

Only Lamine Yamal boasted better goal-creating actions per 90 minutes this season for players 20 or younger, than Rigg - a sensational statistic given the hype around the Barcelona winger.

Despite the likes of Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and United being linked with Rigg, he continues to play without pressure, maintaining his bright start to the campaign.

His goal against Leeds United was his fifth in 35 senior appearances for Sunderland - another impressive statistic given he only turned 17 in June earlier this year.
