Gary Neville tips Mason Greenwood for bright Manchester United future

Former defender Gary Neville has claimed that Mason Greenwood has the potential to become a star man at Manchester United.

Since graduating from the academy setup, the 18-year-old has contributed 12 goals from 17 starts and 23 substitute appearances in all competitions.

With the teenager a boyhood fan of the club, Neville has tipped the striker to be 'anything he wants to be' at Old Trafford.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the ex-right-back said: "He can be anything he wants to be. He just looks like he's got such great composure and quality. He's great physically as well.

"If he continues to emerge like he's shown at times this season I think Manchester United have got the real deal there."

Greenwood netted the last of his dozen goals in United's Europa League game against LASK Linz, a fixture played immediately before football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
