Angel Gomes comes on for Wayne Rooney against Crystal PalaceReuters

Although Paul Pogba is still regarded as the long-term successor of Paul Scholes at Manchester United, let's be honest, the Frenchman didn't impress enough in the 2016-17 season for the Red Devils to be regarded as great as Scholes. Nevertheless, there are still more seasons to go for Pogba to find his greatest mojo.

Ryan Giggs is another legend that Manchester United have failed in replacing. However, from what we witnessed on Sunday, May 21, has Jose Mourinho already found his team of the future?

Mourinho marked a milestone for Man Utd when he field the club's youngest ever team in the Premier League history, with the average age being 22 years and 248 days. The likes of Angel Gomes and Demetri Mitchell got their debut for the club against Crystal Palace in the final Premier League match of the season.

Yet another debutante, Josh Harrop, meanwhile, had a memorable outing, scoring the first goal of the match in United's 2-0 win.

With numerous reports doing the round that the likes of goalkeeper David de Gea and veteran midfielder-forward Wayne Rooney have already played their last for United, as well as the doubt hovering over Michael Carrick's career -- will-he or will-he-not be awarded a new contract -- dominating talks, let's look into how the future of Manchester United could look, with youth holding the centrestage.

Can the Jose Mourinho's class of 2017 emulate the irreplaceable Sir Alex Ferguson's class of 1993 now?

Good news is we already have a potential starting XI of the future
