He turned 17 at the beginning of October and managed to score 17 goals from 17 starts for the club last season. His performances for the youth teams even saw first-team manager Jose Mourinho take the English teenager on our pre-season tour during the summer.

The Guardian’s Manchester football correspondent Jamie Jackson gave some background on Greenwood:

Possessing a sweet left foot, the 17-year-old was selected by José Mourinho for the US summer tour and made a 14-minute cameo in the 1-1 draw with Club América in the opening match. Greenwood was top scorer in the Under-18 Premier League North despite being two years below the age limit, and the latest illustration of his class came when scoring in England’s 3-0 win over Netherlands at the under-18s Limoges Tournament. Signed a professional deal with the club in early October.

Talk about promising!
