Every time this 18 year old gets the ball in the box, I expect a goal. And I'm being reinforced in thinking so, like a Pavlovian dog.
That alone tells you how special this kid is.

Most lethal striker we've had since RVP! Wow, and he is so young!
I don't want to get into comparisons with other players, but what I do know is we should do everything to make sure our future attack is built to get the best out of him. It's going to be a privilege to watch him play for us for the next 15 years or so.
Greenwood started the season at 17, Rooney's equivalent season would've been his last season at Everton before his move to United. No euro games.
That is very stupid.
One scored 15 goals in his entire pr career, the other one about 300.
The real deal. I haven't been this excited with a teenager since Wayne Rooney.
He's so brilliant.... let's hope he keeps working hard and keeps his head down.
For sure the best finisher at the club.

He has a big season ahead of him. He wouldn't have gone to the Euros but next season he might be able to play his win into the England team.
England could have an embarrassment of riches up front

Mbappe and Greenwood couldn’t be more different as players but it’s fair to compare Greenwood’s first season to Mbappe’s. You have to realise one was playing for Monaco, whilst they were a very good side, it’s different playing for United. Also considering our woeful form at the start of the season and Greenwood being largely an impact sub. Certainly comparable.
That feeling we missed since those RVN and RVP days.
Watching that second goal again, my feck I can cream myself watching that over and over again! What skill, technique, finishing and just sheer confidence to hit that knowing you can score! He is just sublime! 
Fantastic strikes for his goals, though the keeper could have done better with the first one. 8 goals and 1 assist in about 900 mins in the PL.
Just seen that second goal back and it’s pretty incredible, actually going away from goal, zero back lift and the power is incredible. The first I had a a keeping error but he hits it so hard at the middle of the keeper he can’t adjust to get in a proper position to dive for it.
One has over 800 starts in his career, the other has 20.
He is bizarrely good at finishing with either foot. I’ve rarely seen the like.
Fake player. Shouldn’t be doing these things.
Well on his way to becoming a superstar . What a finisher he is as well . If he can add aerial ability to his game he will be the total package
Not far off but thats semantics anyway. Rooney was playing so well the public demanded that he made his international debut a few months after his 17th birthday.
You cant compare the two. Rooney was a force of nature.
I prefer his first goal. Rocket shot like Batistuta's.Watching that second goal again, my feck I can cream myself watching that over and over again! What skill, technique, finishing and just sheer confidence to hit that knowing you can score! He is just sublime!
Coming from Ole. One of the best finishers this club has seen. I’d say Law, Ruud, Ole, Greenwood.
Doesn't matter what age he is. You can’t really teach finishing like that. Players either have it or they don’t.
Sign him until 2035 asap! Kids clearly special
Different fackin gravy
He's sensational.
#7 should be his next number.
Yes, Greenwood is great and very special but Rooney was something else and the defense back then was much tougher too.
I love that goal for that reason to, but just wasn't expecting that second one at all, and he just rifled in like it was normal!
He’s immense.. he’s such a special talent.
His ambidextrous skillset and intelligence sets him apart from any other young player I’ve seen play the game in the last two decades.

Did not expect anything else from him. Everyone who saw him in academy knew he was special.
Hmm.
OK!
Who's been fecking with the player settings on this game?!

Incredible performance!
The boy is a king, we'll singing his name for years
I'm trying not to get carried away but he looks the real deal. Great finishing today, and in the case of the second goal he's largely made it himself at a time when we looked a little shaky in the game. Top effort.
On course to break Rooney's record most PL goals for a player 18 or under. Think he only needs a couple more.
This lad is something else. His ability to control and shot the ball so quickly but with such power is amazing! He just gotta keep his head down and continue to improve.
Amazing, amazing talent.
Amazing, amazing talent.
Other than the obvious stuff, an aspect of his game that completely separates him from other young talents is his ball retention. Seems to make the right decision 90% of the time.
Don't assume is going to be Martial alone who is under threat. I'd say Rashford, Sancho and Martial are not guaranteed a place at all and that's the competition we deserve.
That Right footer was a vital goal for him to score, reaffirms in defenders minds that they can't just show him down the outside to nullify him. Keeps them guessing
