Mason Greenwood gives glowing assessment of new Manchester United teammate Amad Diallo

Mason Greenwood has hailed his new Manchester United teammate Amad Diallo after training with the youngster at Carrington.

The 18-year-old completed his long-awaited move to United earlier this month but is yet to make his debut for the Reds.

Diallo continues to train with the first-team and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested United fans might see him in action before the end of the month.

The Ivory Coast winger is expected to be in direct competition for minutes with Greenwood who has played the majority of his minutes for the first-team on the right wing.

However, as he matures as a player, he is expected to shift to the centre forward role meaning supporters might see Diallo line up alongside their academy graduate in a forward three.

Greenwood hailed United's new arrival when asked competition for places in the team.

"It's good to have rivalries and stuff like that to get into the team," he told MUTV.

"They're all good players. A new player, Amad, that's come in.

"He’s a wonderful technical player so I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him soon."

Greenwood also heaped praise on summer arrival Edinson Cavani who has brought a wealth of experience to the squad.

Cavani has earned praise from all quarters after his impressive start to life in England and Greenwood has been blown away by the veteran thus far.

He added: "For me, it’s his movement really. I’ve never seen a striker do as many movements.

"He does probably the same movement about six or seven times a game, like the one against Southampton, he does that every day in training. He scored two from doing the exact same thing.

"It’s good to see a high-level striker at the club you can take note of. He’s a top striker, you can tell the second he came here.

“The stuff he does, the way he dresses himself, the way he trains, the way he does everything right as a footballer really."
