Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is the best youngster the club has produced since club legend Ryan Giggs.
That is the frank verdict of former United captain Bryan Robson, who has warned their Premier League rivals that the 20-year-old England international is 'only going to get stronger'.
Greenwood made an excellent start to this season, scoring three goals in United's first three games of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign.
He has scored just once in his last 11 appearances since, with Cristiano Ronaldo taking on more of the goalscoring responsibility, but he remains one of the standout stars in an unspectacular campaign for the Reds so far.
Greenwood is tipped to have a very bright future at both club and international level and Robson, who represented both the Red Devils and England with great aplomb, agrees with those sentiments - comparing him to Liverpool legend Ian Rush.
"Mason is the best young kid I've seen since Giggsy," Robson told Four Four Two.
"He has got great balance, pace and a good physique. He is only going to get stronger.
"He is a bit of a finisher like Ian Rush, as he can hit the ball with so much power despite having such little backlift - I love that he can it with both feet."
As such, Robson sees Greenwood's future as a centre-forward and has urged the youngster to learn from team-mate Edinson Cavani.
"Mason could learn from Edinson Cavani's movement around the box," Robson added.
"Then when he gets central he'll have cleverer runs to get across people and can score a few more headers.
"All Mason has to do is keep his feet on the ground, keep working hard and he is going to be a top player.
"He has been one of Manchester United's best players so far this season. In time, I see him more as a centre-forward. He will have more power in a couple of years."
