Manchester United’s Anthony Elanga is among the 40 players nominated for the Golden Boy award.<\/p>\n
Run by Italian outlet Tuttosport, a plethora of journalists votes across the year for the best under-21 player among Europe’s top-flight leagues,\u00a0beginning initially with a 100-player list in the summer with two rounds of voting whittling it down to 40.<\/p>\n
