Robin van Persie has joked that Mason Greenwood is destined to succeed at Manchester United... because he tries to copy the Dutchman's style.
Greenwood rescued his side a point against Everton on Sunday with a perfect finish into the bottom corner, and he is already being talked up as a superstar.
Van Persie agrees, and during a video on the Europa League's Instagram stories, he gave his thoughts on the 18-year-old.
'I think he will be very good because during every game he tries to copy me,' van Persie said. 'My style, my technique, my left foot, my way of finishing… so, I'm sure he will end up well.'
Greenwood has had to make do with a role among the substitutes during the opening months of his United career, but is expected to play more regularly as he gets used to top-flight football.
He already has eight goals this season, across the Europa League, EFL Cup, Football League Trophy and Premier League, and is extremely highly-rated by the club.
