8. Erick Torres – Chivas USA/Guadalajara & Mexico
The 21-year-old is yet to have made his debut for the senior Mexican side, but has been the man earmarked to take Javier Hernandez’s place should the United man not make the cut. Blessed with the same intelligent running and killer goalscoring instinct as Hernandez, Torres is already sitting comfortably at the top of the MLS goalscoring charts with four from four already this season.
