Lingard heaps praise on Man Utd teammate Greenwood

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has heaped praise on Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood is enjoying a brilliant breakthrough year at Old Trafford, scoring 12 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

"He knows the game of football, he shoots right to left foot. Still to this day I don't know what foot he is," Lingard told the Football Show on Sky Sports.

"He can score free-kicks with his left, take corners with his right.

"When he has been given the opportunity, he shows what he can do.

"It doesn't matter about age, as long as you can perform on the day, and do the job for the team, you'll be in the team. He is learning at a rapid rate at the moment."
