Mason Greenwood called up to Young Lions squad

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has been selected in the latest England Under 21’s national squad ahead of the UEFA Euro Finals group stage next week.

Of the 23 players selected by Young Lions manager Aidy Boothroyd, he is one of just two to have a senior international appearance to their name, alongside Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi.

This came in May 2020 as Gareth Southgate brought the youngster on from the bench in a UEFA Nations League game against Iceland, after which Greenwood was sent home following a breach of COVID protocols.

As well as his one senior appearance, the striker has also played four times previously for the Under 21’s including a goal in a 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands.
