Reports in Spain claim Real Madrid will be closely monitoring Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood when the Premier League returns.

Greenwood has established himself as a regular member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad and has already displayed his supreme talent on numerous occasions for the first-team.

The 18-year-old has scored 12 goals in all competitions for the Reds this term, and will be fighting for a place as United restart their league campaign against Tottenham Hotspur on Friday evening.

Solskjaer has previously described Greenwood as the most natural finisher at the club and we have already seen progression in the game of the academy graduate that clearly has unbelievable potential.

It’s therefore not surprising to hear reports of interest from one of the biggest clubs in the world in Real Madrid. According to Spanish source Don Balon, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez is excited by the potential of Greenwood and fellow English youngster Mason Mount and is watching the pair attentively.

In reality, we cannot see a scenario where Greenwood leaves United in the coming years, regardless of whether these reports of Madrid’s interest are true.

Greenwood is a player Solskjaer can focus his long-term rebuild around and will continue to get more opportunities as he continues to develop next season.
