Greenwood extends Man United deal

 

Manchester United have announced that young striker Mason Greenwood has put pen to paper on a new deal with the club. 

 

The teenager broke into the first team with aplomb last season, netting 10 times in the Premier League to boost his reputation. 

 

And Greenwood's good form has seen him rewarded with a new four-and-a-half year deal. 

 

"Manchester United is delighted to announce that Mason Greenwood has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year," a statement read on the club's official website.

 

"Greenwood is a product of the club’s famed Academy and has been at Manchester United since the age of seven. 

 

"The 19-year-old, who is United’s youngest-ever goalscorer in European competition, has already made 82 appearances for the club. Greenwood is one of nine Academy graduates who have featured in a first-team matchday squad this season." 

 

 

On the new deal, Greenwood said: "When you join the club at seven years old, you just dream of playing for the first-team one day. I’ve worked so hard to reach this level and the last two years have been amazing. There is so much that I want to achieve in the game and I know that this is the perfect environment to play my football. 

 

"With the support from the manager, his coaching staff and so many great players to learn from; I know that I am developing every single day. There is a lot more to come from myself and this team and I am so committed to working hard week in, week out to help the group achieve success. 

 

"I want to repay the club for the support that everyone has given me over the years and show everyone just what I am capable of."
