The 18-year old scored 17 goals for the Red Devils in all competitions and was the third-highest goalscorer for the club last season. Greenwood has reportedly taken the No.11 shirt for next season, which was word by United legend Ryan Giggs.
On the other hand, Brandon Williams has also had a great breakout season with Manchester United as he moved into the main team.
