Rio Ferdinand goes 'all in' with Mason Greenwood Man Utd and Premier League prediction

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has backed Mason Greenwood to dominate the Premier League in the coming years after an excellent finish in the 3-1 win over West Ham on Saturday.

Last season, Greenwood enjoyed a stunning breakthrough campaign with 17 goals in all competition but he found things tougher with issues off the field hampering him.

But against the Hammers, the 19-year-old scored his first league goal of the season with smart touch and turn away from the nearest defender and a clinical finish.

Greenwood is highly thought of at Old Trafford and viewed as their long-term No 9 once he's gained more experience.

And Ferdinand has no doubts about Greenwood's quality and tipped him to be an all-great.

He said on his YouTube channel: "Mason Greenwood is the guvnor. He's gonna be the man.

"I know I keep hyping him up, I don't care.

"Because I believe he has the talent to come through and absolutely dominate, be the No 9 at Man Utd and England in the years to come.

"Trust me, I'm going with it. I'm going all in.

"I've gone all in before and we all know what happened there. I'm doing it again.

"Mason Greenwood will dominate the Premier League for years to come as a No 9."
