Manchester United's Mason Greenwood has experienced an astonishing rise to fame in the current season, as he's currently a regular member of the first-team squad despite being just 19 years of age.

Having shown in pre-season for the Red Devils, Greenwood was given an opportunity to impress at the start of the season, as the club did not have enough numbers up front after the sales of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

The youngster, who was 17 years of age at the time, showed maturity beyond his years and made the chance count, as he impressed with goals in the Europa League as well as the domestic cups.

A central striker by trade, Greenwood has played in numerous positions in attack this season for Manchester United and has chipped in with 11 goals and 4 assists in 33 appearances for the club.

The youngster has also drawn comparisons with former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie - understandably so considering their uncanny body feints and calmness in front of goal.

Aside from his ability to strike the ball with both feet, Greenwood's composure has been a major talking point and the youngster is a bonafide superstar in the making.
