'The kid has quality in abundance' - Cole backs Greenwood to be Man Utd regular

Mason Greenwood has the "quality" and the right "mentality" to become an important player for Manchester United in the near future, according to Andy Cole.

The young striker, who celebrated his 18th birthday on Tuesday, has already racked up seven appearances across all competitions this season, scoring twice.

He netted his first senior goal in United colours to earn Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side a 1-0 home victory over Astana in the Europa League on September 19, becoming the youngest scorer in European competition in the club's history.

Greenwood followed up that performance with another goal in a Carabao Cup third-round tie against Rochdale, which the Red Devils scraped through on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.
