Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has officially signed a long term contract with the Premier League side which will tie him to the club for four more years.
Greenwood made his Premier League debut under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 2-0 away defeat to Arsenal back in March, with his start in the Premier League coming two months later.
The 18-year-old superstar has become a regular in the first-team squad in this season for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, making six substitute appearances in the league and starting three times in cup competitions.
Greenwood netted his first goal for United to seal a 1-0 Europa League win over Astana at Old Trafford last month and struck again in the League Cup game against Rochdale, although United needed penalties to get through to the next round.
Although Manchester United are having their worst start to a season ever since the Premier League era, Greenwood’s stay at the club is a big positive. The English teenager is deemed one of the best youngsters in the country and with his future committed with United, that is great news for the fallen giants.
Upon signing his four year contract extension with the option to extend his stay for another season, Greenwood expressed his delight, the youngster spoke to the club’s official website and said “Having grown up as a Manchester United fan, playing for the first team is a real dream come true, 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.”
