Mason Greenwood is one of the most highly-rated prospects in the
Manchester United academy.
The young striker is only 17 and was rewarded for his encouraging form at the start of this season with a professional deal.
He travelled with United to the United States for their pre-season tour during the summer, having caught the eye in the youth ranks and has been tipped for a breakthrough year in 2018/19.
He trained with the first-team on a number of occasions, most recently ahead of the
Valencia Champions League game.
But who is the young attacker? Here's a look at his United career so far and everything we know about him:
Name: Mason GreenwoodDate of birth: October 1, 2001
Position: Forward
Birthplace: England
Date joined United: July 1, 2018
What's his best position?Greenwood started his career in midfield pushing through as a No.10 but has since evolved to become a centre forward, scoring 17 goals from 17 starts for the club last season.
Has he played for England?Yes, he's represented them at Under-17s level, making six appearances last season and he was part of their squad in the Algarve Tournament in Portugal earlier this year.
What awards has he won?Despite only being 16, Greenwood was the top scorer in the Under-18 Premier League North last season in a campaign which saw United crowned champions.
He was also awarded Player of the Tournament, despite being the youngest player in the squad, when United won the ICGT trophy in May.
What has been said about him?Clayton Blackmore is already excited about Greenwood's future, he told MEN Sport: "We don’t know how good he is going to get. He’s still growing.
“He’s great on the ball and very good with both feet. He’s the first person I’ve seen that takes penalties and free-kicks with his wrong foot. I’ve never come across anyone like that! He’s got a great chance.”
