Manchester United's Mason Greenwood was on the score-sheet last night.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has time and again reiterated his plans for developing the academy stars into first-team regulars, and one of his recent prodigies has been Mason Greenwood.

The 18-year-old has already played 13 times for United this season and has 3 goals and 1 assist to his name in all competitions.

His impressive composed and calm nature on the right-wing has definitely put him in contention for a first-team spot in United's upcoming fixtures.

One of Greenwood's amazing attributes is his passing abilities and even the statistics suggest the same, as the forward has an 83% passing success rate in the Premier League and 89% in the Europa League.

For a teenager, these are respectable figures in such top competitions.

With Jesse Lingard severely lacking in terms of providing any sort of end product in the final third, it's about time that Solskjaer makes Greenwood a permanent name in the starting eleven.
