Considering Greenwood is still 18 years of age, he has been seriously impressive for United, in what has been his breakthrough season for the club.
So far, he has scored 12 goals from 15 starts and 20 substitute appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side – with 10 of those goals coming in the Premier League and Europa League.

Before getting injured, the latter of those players bagged 18 goals from 26 starts and four substitute appearances across all competitions.
