Mason Greenwood can still recall first Man Utd chance

Mason Greenwood admits he still remembers how he won a move to Manchester United.

Aged six, Greenwood was a substitute for local Bradford side Idle Juniors when he was introduced into the action.

He revealed on a video on Instagram: "The first time United scouts saw me, I was playing for Idle Juniors. I remember we were losing 2-0 or something.

"And then I came on and I went wild. I scored ten goals.

"I used to get the ball run past everyone and just kick it in the net. Sprint back and keep doing it until the whistle went."

Greenwood is edging his way into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side having scored 12 goals in just 15 starts across all competitions.
