Mason Greenwood has a big part to play in the future of Manchester United, according to club-mate Odion Ighalo.

Greenwood has long been tipped for big things at Old Trafford and under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has begun to make his mark this season, with the 18-year-old forward having played 37 times for the first team, netting 13 goals along the way, including five in the Premier League.

At 18, he has not yet established himself as a starting player, but Nigeria international ace Ighalo, who was brought to the club in January in a bid to increase the depth in the striking pool, says that will come with time and a little patience.

Speaking on an Instagram live, he said:

“He’s very young and exciting. Very good player, left and right, he can shoot and score goals.

“He’s a player for the future for Man Utd. He’s doing well now but in two or three years he is going to be doing very, very well.”
