KEY POINTS

  • Manchester United has been in top form as of late by winning the last five out of six bouts
  • The team has improved care of Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood stepping up for the team
  • It was reported that Juventus was interested in signing Greenwood 

The career of Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood has been on a rise with the way the Red Devils have been playing in the past few weeks. It has been reported that the young forward was almost recruited to join Juventus.

Per Red Devil Armada, the 18-year-old rising star was on the brink of jumping to Italy for a considerable amount of money. Fortunately for Manchester United, the development program that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer leads was enough to convince Greenwood to stay. The potential that he possesses is extraordinary and Manchester United is a perfect location to hone and master his skills.

While the strong performance of Manchester United can be attributed to Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, players such as Greenwood has given as much to the team as the stars. The club has won the last five out of their six matches and is comfortably at the fifth-place spot in the Premier League. The team currently has 58 points and is one point away in tying Leicester City.

During the current season, Greenwood has shown flashes of brilliance contributing to Manchester United’s hot streak. Throughout 46 appearances, he has tallied 16 goals coupled with five assists. The last three games have featured at least one goal from Greenwood including a brace against Bournemouth.

The cohesive play of Pogba and Fernandes has been fantastic while the play of Greenwood shows tremendous promise. Having someone like Greenwood’s capabilities under Solskjaer’s leadership while surrounded by veterans can push the young star into further heights.

With the lineup of stars leading the way, Manchester United is positioned for greater things moving forward. It is considered a good move not letting go of Greenwood as the club may put him into a bigger role in the years to come.

The chemistry among the club has been strong as of late and continues to pull off remarkable football on the field. It will be a crucial set of matches for Solskjaer’s squad and it will test how Greenwood can continue his amazing performance. Hopefully, for Manchester United, the teamwork among the stars and their young talent can propel the club to the deeper stretch of the season.
