\u201cHaving 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,\u201d Greenwood told United\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greenwood has been with Manchester United since he was seven and his manager believes he can go all the way to the top.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cMason 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
