Dong Fangzhou

Dong Fangzhou is probably China’s best football prospect ever. Signed from Chinese club team Dalian Shide last year by Manchester United, he’s currently playing for Royal Antwerp in Belgium, United's favorite feeder club.

A former striker for the China U-20 team, now aged 20, he’s been moved up to the senior side and I expect him to do really well. The cynic will say he was purchased to sell shirts, but he can play.

A few months ago Fangzhou was named on the shortlist for the first FIFPro Young player of the Year award which was given to fellow Manchester United striker Wayne 'tantrum' Rooney at a ceremony last month.

While he’s quite a way from a place in Man U’s senior side, he certainly has the potential. He showed very well earlier this month in a friendly against Germany and has been scoring regularly for his club team in Belgium, albeit in the second division. Don’t laugh, they all start somewhere.
