Greenwood knows he must trust ability as Man Utd rise continues

Mason Greenwood says he must trust his own ability as he continues his journey at Manchester United.

The 18-year-old has shown his quality as a first-team player this season, having scored 10 goals across all competitions.

And Greenwood knows continuing to believe in himself is crucial to his senior career.

He told Sport Bible: "It's been good to play in some massive league and cup games with the first team, but I'm still doing the same things that I was doing in the Under 23s and youth teams.

"I think I have to trust the things that have got me to where I am and continue to try to do them in the first team."

On going on a preseason tour when he was 16, Greenwood revealed: "It was a different level really.

"The crowds there were all a lot bigger than what I was used to playing in front of, and there were a lot of fans from all around the world, so it was a good experience.

"To go away with strikers such as Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku was the best way to learn, just seeing how they worked as top strikers and top finishers was great for me.

"They all looked after me and helped me on and off the pitch."
