Mason Greenwood has signed a four-year contract with Manchester United — the youngster has been at the club since the age of seven, and has been getting opportunities in the first-team this season.
The England Under-21 international has been tipped for a bright future at Old Trafford and we’re delighted to hear he has signed a new contract, which will keep him at United until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year.
While Greenwood has been getting more game time in the first team this season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handed him his full debut against Cardiff City last term.
“Having grown up as a Manchester United fan, playing for the first team is a real dream come true,” the youngster told the club’s official website. “I know that, when I play for this club, I represent the whole Academy and I want to repay the faith that my coaches have shown in me with my performances on the pitch.
“I am learning all the time from the manager and his coaching staff and I know that this is the perfect club to help me reach my potential.”
Solskjaer, who has put a lot of faith in Greenwood thus far this season, added: “Mason has progressed through our outstanding Academy and we are delighted with the progress he has made. At such a young age, he already has great pace and intelligence and he is such a natural finisher.
“Since he came into the first team, he has really impressed everyone with his drive and attitude. He has all the attributes to become a top player. Mason is learning every day in training and, with his work ethic, there is no doubt that he has an excellent future ahead of him.”
