Paul Pogba vows to help Mason Greenwood realise his potential at Manchester United

Paul Pogba says he will continue to keep pushing Mason Greenwood to help the Manchester United starlet realise his potential.

The 18-year-old played a starring role yet again for the Red Devils as they brushed aside Aston Villa 3-0 at Villa Park, hammering home from 20 yards out and playing a part in the build-up to the first goal.

It means Greenwood has now scored 16 goals in all competitions and nine in the Premier League - the most by any player under the age of 21 in Europe's top five leagues.

Pogba, who also got on the scoresheet in United's convincing win, believes the academy graduate can reach the pinnacle of football and the Frenchman says he will strive to help him develop as much as he can.

"I enjoy seeing this kid in training and in the game," Pogba told Sky Sports.

"I will keep pushing him to be at the top. He has so much to do again. He can do even more than what he is doing right now."
