Mason Greenwood is Manchester United's future, but his superb performances of late indicate that he is the club's present as well.

The 19-year old is a truly gifted young footballer. Greenwood was named the best finisher at Manchester United by Solskjaer, ahead of the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. The forward has already scored three league goals this season as well.

Greenwood will surely benefit from being coached by Solskjaer and being around the likes of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo. The England international is on his way to becoming a superstar and is likely to start the match against Young Boys.


Striker - Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo's second debut for Manchester United was highly anticipated and he did not disappoint.

Ronaldo scored two goals against Newcastle United as his club romped to a 4-1 win. The Portugal international looked sharp and fit and remains a world-class operator. A prolific goalscorer, Ronaldo has added a completely different dimension to his Manchester United side.

The 36-year old is one of the fittest athletes in the world. Ronaldo might not be the player he once was, but he has immediately become Manchester United's superstar and talisman.


Left-winger - Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho has endured a quiet start to his Manchester United career, but he will be happy after an improved display against Newcastle United.

One of the best young players in world football, Sancho joined Manchester United this summer from Borussia Dortmund for £76.5 million. The 21-year old has been utilized on the left-wing so far, despite his excellent performances on the right in the Bundesliga.

Sancho is highly creative and technically gifted. Though he has no goals or assists to his name as yet this season, he will soon come good for his new club. The England international will play an important role for Manchester United this season and is expected to start the match against Young Boys.
