Mason Greenwood is capable of becoming a “complete No.9”, says his Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer, who once filled a similar role, said of Greenwood after seeing him crash home a stunning strike in a 3-0 victory over Watford: “The whole season he’s had says a lot for him. He’s just going to get better and better.
“He’s only 18, we’ve got to remember that. He’s still not fully grown in his body, he’s not like Wayne Rooney at 18. He still has a young body and in a few years' time, he’ll be more or less the complete No.9.
“He’ll still fill out more but it will take a couple of years. Give him time because it’ll be natural. He’s 18 now and he’ll still fill out more: his upper body, his legs.
“He’s now starting to get a man’s body but it will take a couple of years because you can’t do that too early.”
