The countdown of the Top 5 in the USL 20 Under 20 series concludes with a player who made history as the youngest Homegrown signing in Seattle Sounders FC history, and has performed strongly for both club and country in 2016 with Seattle Sounders FC 2 and the U.S. U20 Men’s National Team.

No. 1: Victor Mansaray, Seattle Sounders FC 2

Signing as a Homegrown Player at the age of 17 in 2014, Victor Mansaray saw action with the club’s MLS side in 2015, but this season has opened his game up to a new level with S2 in the USL. The rangy forward’s combination of speed and strength has made him a threat either as a central striker or coming in from the left in a 4-3-3 for the team. His four goals this season have come in part thanks to improved reading of the game and movement off the ball.
