Manchester United youngster, Mason Greenwood, has penned a new Old Trafford deal until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year.

Greenwood who joined United at age seven has racked up 21 goals in 82 appearances for the club since making his senior debut as a substitute against Paris Saint-Germain, in the Champions League in March 2019.

The United number 11 who signed his new contract on Tuesday was described as “a fantastic talent and yet another fine example of the type of player that our Academy produces” by the manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian went further to hail his progress and admitted that Greenwood is “one of the best young players in the country.”

Although the youngster has struggled to regain the form that caught attention last season, Solskjaer was protective of the 19-year-old.

“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 seasons.”

Greenwood is delighted to pen his new deal with the Premier League giants and vows to repay the club for their support.

“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.”
