Manchester United fans have all heaped praise on Mason Greenwood after he scored his first goal for the England Under-21s.

The 18-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League's most exciting prospects this season after breaking into the first team at Old Trafford .

Greenwood has made 14 appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team this season, scoring twice in the Europa League and once in the Carabao Cup.

However, it was on international duty for the Young Lions where he caught the headlines this time with England taking on the Netherlands.
