Meet Mason Greenwood: The latest Man Utd academy star making a name for himself

Manchester United might be stuggling to make any kind of impact at senior level following their difficult start to the 2018-19 campaign, but there are multiple positives to be taken from their form at youth level this season.

Ricky Sbragia's Under-23s are just three points short of the top of Division 2 in Premier League 2 despite having suffered their first defeats of the term over the last few weeks, while Neil Ryan's Under-18s are also one win behind the summit and have a game in hand on leaders Everton.

Executive vice-chair Ed Woodward made a point of speaking about the club's continued focus on youth going forward when addressing the club's investors last week, and there are plenty of candidates to follow names such as Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Scott McTominay into the first-team squad.
