Taylor, who is also in charge at League One Hull City, has highlighted his club's own goal-machine Stuart Elliott as the man to watch at Old Trafford.

Elliott currently sits at the top of the country's scoring charts with 28 goals in 32 games and, for a midfielder, some might say that's a decent record.

But Taylor also reminds us that, though the 28-year-old is generally deployed on the left hand side, his aerial ability means that he is a danger inside the box.

"We give him a licence to come in because he is so good in the air; we only want him out wide in certain situations," says Taylor.

"But to be honest, some of his goals have come from runs starting out wide, where he outstrips the defence.

"He’s got so much power in his shot, you need a good goalkeeper to stop it. Even then, if he doesn’t hold it someone else could come in and knock it in the net."

And it's these qualities that Taylor has alerted Sven to, before he meets the former ex-Motherwell man for Saturday's crucial Group Six Qualifier.

"I spoke to Sven about him quite a while ago, when we were out in Austria. It was before he'd scored all of the goals, but I told him that we’ve got this player who is absolute dynamite in and around the box," reveals the former Spurs winger, whose Under-21s take on Germany in a European Championship Qualifier on Friday night. 

"He’s very positive and he’s got a wonderful left foot and will be a threat."

But will a marksman in League One be able to cut it against some of the best defenders that England and the Premiership have to offer?

"For me he could score against anybody," Taylor believes.  

"I’m not saying he’s going to be a great player for 90 minutes but he could score against anybody."

"While he’s on the field, it doesn’t matter if he’s not playing well. He’s a goal threat and will always have a chance."

Hull City's KC Stadium, home to both Taylor and Elliott, will host Friday night's Under-21 qualifier against Dieter Eilts' Germany.  If you'd like to be there to cheer England on, tickets are available by calling the KC Stadium ticket hotline on 0870 837 0004
