Man Utd veteran Mata impressed by Greenwood 'hunger'

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says Mason Greenwood has the right "mentality" so succeed at Old Trafford.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to introduce more youngsters into the first-team squad during 2019-20.

Teenage striker Greenwood has been guaranteed a future by the Norwegian and added to his growing reputation on Saturday when he scored the winner against Inter Milan in the pre-season International Champions Cup in Singapore.

"Mason has a lot of qualities and the most important one is his mentality," said Mata.

"He's hungry to improve and to give his all for the team.

"We are very happy he's finding his feet in the first team and gaining confidence. I am sure he'll score many goals for this club."
