Rio Ferdinand is enamoured with Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood.

The 18-year-old has taken Old Trafford by storm, scoring five goals in his first full season with the first-team.

Legendary United defender Ferdinand was asked about the forward in an Instagram Q&A:

He replied: Have you seen what this kid is doing?"

"Left and right foot. If you said to him take a free-kick please. In his own mind he is saying to himself 'do they want it on my right or my left foot?' That is the kind of conversations he is having in his head.

"Left foot, right foot, bang. The ball is hitting the back of the net, that is how he moves. I have seen this kid since he was very young and I have heard people talking about him at the club. Every level he has gone into, that is the key, every level he has played he has looked unfazed and stepped up to it easily. Like with pure, pure ease. He has just done it.

"He just looks around 'Old Trafford? This is me, I'm meant to be here.' That is the vibe I get from him. You can't put a price on that, that cold-hearted calm confidence is just mad."
