Despite their young ages, Leny, 19, and Kobbie, 20, have established themselves as regular starters in the first team.

Zirkzee's verdict on Mainoo's tribute
ArticleIn our big interview, Joshua was asked about Kobbie's classy gesture amid the limbs against Lyon last season.
As always, there is stiff competition for this individual trophy, which was won last year by Juventus and Turkey winger Kenan Yildiz.
Yildiz is in the frame for the trophy again, among 100 players who have been nominated.
Other standout names included are Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, Real Madrid’s Endrick, his new Real team-mate Dean Huijsen who recently arrived from Bournemouth, and Desire Doue of Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.
There’s plenty of Premier League representatives too such as Arsenal duo Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri; Chelsea’s Tyrique George and Marc Guiu; Tottenham Hotspur trio Mathys Tel, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall; and Jack Hinshelwood of Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Golden Boy Web award is the fan-voted parallel to the traditional Golden Boy award (chosen by journalists) and focuses on digital popularity and engagement, alongside on-field performance.
The voting process will continue on a monthly basis before the winner is due to be announced in November.
Former holders of the main Golden Boy award with United connections include Wayne Rooney (2004), Anderson (2008) and Anthony Martial (2015), while Paul Pogba lifted it during his first spell at Juventus in 2013.
Best of luck to Kobbie and Leny - get voting here, Reds!
