'Unreal!' - Manchester United fans go crazy after Mason Greenwood's stunning goal vs Leicester

A number of Manchester United supporters have taken to social media to react to Mason Greenwood's stunning strike that gave the Reds a 1-0 lead at the King Power Stadium.

Entering the contest on a run of four Premier League games without a goal, Greenwood, who was left out of the England squad over the international break, brought his draught to an end in spectacular fashion.

Coming inside off the right-flank after having the ball played into his feet by Bruno Fernandes, the United academy graduate unleashed an unstoppable left-footed drive, which smashed off the far post and into the back of the net, leaving Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with absolutely no chance of keeping it out.

It was a sensational strike from the 20-year-old and one that will, without any shadow of a doubt, be considered as a Goal of the Season contender come the end of the campaign.

Unsurprisingly, Greenwood's stunning strike, which was his third in his career against Leicester, has attracted a wave of responses on social media from United's supporters, who have waxed lyrical about the versatile attacker.

Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what United's supporters have had to say on Twitter.

As you can see from the messages displayed above, United's fans were in awe of the moment of individual brilliance Greenwood conjured up.

It was a sensational strike from the youngster and one that once again justified his place in the team.

However, United were pegged back just 12 minutes later when Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans brought Brendan Rodgers' side level with another impressive strike.
