Fecking clinical.
Probably the best hitter of the ball in the league.

His good performances was there for months was just lacking the scoring touch/having a lean spell in front of goal.
Not anymore, without a doubt one of the most talented teenage footballers in Europe.

Loving it.
When he cuts in from the right and shoots I fancy him to score everytime. Happy that he's hit some good form and all that rubbish about him at the start of the season has disappeared.
Thought his goals had been disallowed due to how little fecks he seemed to give about scoring them. Just comes naturally to the kid, like a postman not celebrating delivering letters
Some people suggesting we don't buy a winger now, I feel we still need to, someone who is more a creator and can play both flanks be it Sancho or Neto, I don't like the idea of playing three strikers at a time...BTW Greenwood is class, having this kind of talent coming through our system is a joy.
Might not even be a Striker we are in for if Cavani stays.
Ah, I hadn't seen that, I thought things were still in the air, that's annoying as if he stays we could focus on fully fixing the double pivot.
Great to see Greenwood's confidence growing game by game, talent was always there
If Cavani goes he must be replaced. Ole is right. I've been back and forth personally this season, but it is increasingly clear Greenwood's settled into that flexible wide/supporting role. He probably still will be a CF eventually, but not for a few seasons. His crossing, dribbling and all-round link-up play get properly aired with that extra bit of space, and it makes the most of his two-footedness too. Needs a target man to play with.
If that's the case, we need to go in for a top striker, maybe who can hold up play and potentially drop Fernandes deeper. We don't have enough support for our build up play , moving to a 433 would allow both rashford and greenwood the ability to stay high with the knowledge that there is adequate cover deep.
He is not a better goalscorer than Rashford, his finishing is better but Rashford is still better goalscorer. Also, he is not half involved in the build up as Rashford is, and Rashford creates more goals and chances than him.
It's been generally very poor season for him, but he's had few very good games, and hopefully he can finish the season strongly based on today's form.
Just read somewhere that Mason's goals makes him joint-top scoring teenager in PL history for us (level with Rooney on 15). Is this right?!

It's been so good seeing our starboy getting back in form in the second half of the season
Still think he's got all the tools to be our best forward since prime RvP if he continues improving as he has been
Is it a good thing that he was never lightning fast as a youngster like Rashford, Walcott, Lennon or James for that matter. To get past players he has to use his agility and dribbling in the past, which has matured his general play. He doesn’t play like uour typical winger. This season he has also matured greatly physically, and now he can run at players as well as having those other skills. He can mix it up more, and he has brilliant close control.
I don't like the idea of Rashford and Greenwood on opposite flanks long-term, it takes away our fluidity because of their goal first mentality, and I don't think Ole fancy a 433 with Pogba and Bruno, it not like Silva and De bruyne, their possession football makes it work,our style involves more risk taking and would be too much work for the DM.
MotM performance. 2 goals, pass for McTominay 1-on-1, excellent
He's a top player in the making, even if his goalscoring took a little wobble (although he seems to have found his shooting boots again) his talent is undeniable.
Knew he'd find his shooting boots. Wish there was more games left for him though. Looking for a strong finish to the season and then come back next year even better again. Completely understand all the praise he was getting in the underage groups.
I agree with this. And with Ole being so clear about Mason making the right wing his own that’s surely the end of the Sancho saga. The muppets are going to riot.
Ahh there's plenty of other meat for their carnivorous little appetites.
We need good squad, Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho for 2 positions should be fine, especially when 2 of them can also play as CFs.
ManUtd fans complained all season that Ole overplayed Rashford, we barely had any option as our backups are not good enough or the gap between Rashford and player replacing him is too big. With players like Sancho we will have good depth and can rotate.
I just love watching this kid. He’s going to be top class in the future.
Already a joy to watch. I get off my seat every time he shoots. He's going to be some player.
On a great little run of goal scoring isn't he? Just in time for a title run? 
Great to see him amongst the goals again and looking confident. He's such a vital weapon to have when he's on song. Maybe too late for him to beat last season's goal tally, but he should be aiming for 15 in all comps.
And he has until October to beat Rooney's record outright.Tweet

Really hitting form at the right time with Tony’s injury. Could find himself in the euros squad after he looked miles away a few months ago.
We're not spending so much on Sancho unless we miss out on top 4.
It's how we've structured our transfer dealings since Woodward took over. Splurge when we're out of top 4 on a star player and spread the money to improve the squad when we're in it.
I read somewhere earlier that he's only 4 PL goals off being the all-time top scoring teenager in the PL, with Michael Owen currently leading with 18 goals. If he keeps his current vein of form up you can't see him not getting there!Tweet

Edit: As many have corrected me on, this isn't right. I blame Football365

Been a hard season for the lad, but I've been consistently impressed with his effort. Even when it's not been clicking for him there's been a lot of little signs to me that he could become a top player for us.
Ole should be telling him there's a regular place in the starting eleven for him if he's willing to grasp it.

I agree.
I think we lack a playmaker in attack, like Sancho who is an excellent passer. All our forwards are 9.5s who can pick a pass but don't that consistent quality and are essentially modern strikers. Sancho is a lot more like hazard and ribery in his excellent link up play and passing which would really add a huge deal to our football.
That's insane and yet he seems to be completely overlooked at the moment in terms of world-class talent.
Eh? I've read that Owen scored more than 40 Premier League goals as a teenager?
Yeah, Owen had a couple of 18 goal seasons as a teenager.Eh? I've read that Owen scored more than 40 Premier League goals as a teenager?
Owen scored 46 league goals as a teenager, Fowler scored 35.
Greenwood has 15 goals, that puts him in 9th position. At max he can go up to 4th position if he scores 4 more goals. 3rd is Rooney, with 30 goals.

Haha, yeah, it looks like the site I was quoting have got "all time goals" mixed up with "goals in one season". I retract the above, should have looked more into it
