Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has heaped praise on the "phenomenal" Mason Greenwood after the young striker signed a new and improved contract at Manchester United.
The 19-year-old academy graduate has been with the club since the age of seven and gone on to make 82 first-team appearances, scoring 21 goals in all competitions.
And Greenwood's rise has now been rewarded with a new contract, which will keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2025 and with the option to extend by a further year.
The teenager has enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks and, after featuring consistently under Solskjaer last season, has become an integral member of the first-team set-up this campaign.
Solskjaer is understandably delighted with the progress shown by the England international, hailing his "maturity and adaptability".
The Red Devils manager said: "Mason is a fantastic talent and yet another fine example of the type of player that our Academy produces.
"He has made great progress this season, showing real maturity and adaptability to his game, which has seen him develop into one of the best young players in the country.
"Whilst it is easy for people outside of the club to forget that Mason is just 19, it is our job as coaches to ensure he reaches his phenomenal potential and every step we take is to help him along that path.
"Mason is naturally gifted and has a brilliant attitude; we know how important he is going to be for Manchester United over the coming seaon."
Greenwood, who has one cap for the senior England squad, added: “When you join the club at seven years old, you just dream of playing for the first-team one day.
"I’ve worked so hard to reach this level and the last two years have been amazing. There is so much that I want to achieve in the game and I know that this is the perfect environment to play my football.
“With the support from the manager, his coaching staff and so many great players to learn from; I know that I am developing every single day.
"There is a lot more to come from myself and this team and I am so committed to working hard week in, week out to help the group achieve success.
“I want to repay the club for the support that everyone has given me over the years and show everyone just what I am capable of.”
