Like Tahith Chong, the young Academy striker Mason Greenwood has been given a chance to impress Mourinho in their USA tour. Greenwood is a striker who is equally comfortable playing the role of a No 10.

He rose to prominence this season for United's U-18 side, when he bagged 17 goals in 19 games. Adept in playing with both feet, he has got blistering pace and instinctive finishing and is a real threat when it comes to free kicks and penalties.

Greenwood will only turn 17 this October and hence, he has got plenty of time to impress Mourinho with his performances. If he continues to perform the way he has done till now, a first team appearance may not be too far away.
