Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Mason Greenwood has "frightening potential".

The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene this past season after scoring 17 goals in 49 first-team appearances.

"Mason Greenwood has frightening potential. He is already a very good player and his finishing is incredible," the former United striker told the Football Index podcast . "If he continues to improve, wow.

"The biggest improvement of his game has been on the physical side. Greenwood is only going to become tougher and fitter as he gets older, it's incredible to think what he is capable of as just a teenager.

"I can only see Greenwood's finishing continuing to get better and he is going to be a very scary player in the Premier League.

"He's very self-confident and doesn't hesitate about shooting again if he has missed a chance, he has all the attributes to be a big success story for Manchester United.

"The only question mark is about consistency and whether he will be able to perform at a similar level next season, but I'm very confident that he will."
