'Man Utd have got a real star in Greenwood' - Teenage striker won't flop like Januzaj, says Neville

Manchester United "have got a real star" in Mason Greenwood, according to Gary Neville, who doesn't think the teenager will end up flopping in the same way Adnan Januzaj did at Old Trafford.

Greenwood was enjoying a superb breakout season before the coronavirus outbreak stopped play in March, having scored 14 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils.

The 18-year-old has had to be content with a backup role behind Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, but has maximised his time on the pitch at every opportunity.
