Mason Greenwood will be a ‘superstar’ at Manchester United if he stays grounded, says Head of first team development Nicky Butt.
Speaking in a feature for Super Six, as quoted by Manchester Evening News, Butt said:
“Purely for the excitement and the fans I think Greenwood is going to be a real, real superstar if he keeps his feet on the ground, he’s patient and he scores the goals that he can.”
“He’s both footed, he’s a big, strong, powereful kid who can score goals and he’s still very much a young boy who’s likeable.”
The 17-year-old is one of the most talented youngsters to come out of United’s famous academy, and made his markteam during his first pre-season in the first-team set-up.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rates Greenwood highly and has already confirmed he will give the youngster plenty of opportunities this season.
