  • The teenager has enjoyed a terrific breakthrough season with the Red Devils and he recently scored his 11th goal of the campaign in the club's 3-0 win over Watford in the Premier League.

    Speaking after the game, the United head coach was full of praise for the England youth international and believes the teenager can become the complete striker in a few years' time.

    "If he keeps fit, it's up to him (to keep his place). The whole season he's had says a lot for him. He is just going to be better and better. In a couple of years' time he will be more or less the complete No9," he told via Goal.com.

    Greenwood has been in-and-out of the starting lineup for United this season and most of the occasions, Solskjaer has opted to place the youngster on the bench in order to shed any scoring burden.
