England U21 boss Boothroyd quickly impressed by Man Utd kid Greenwood

England U21 boss Aidy Boothroyd has quickly been impressed by Manchester United's 17 year-old striker Mason Greenwood.

Boothroyd has also revealed he's sharing a room with Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.

He said: “He's a very, very talented player. He walks through the door and you instantly like him because he's such a humble, nice young bloke.

“He's rooming with Phil funnily enough so that's the two Manchester lads getting together and performing for England and also living together for a couple of weeks as well.

“Mason's a great talent, we've only had one session but he looks very impressive and will certainly add to the armoury we've got."
