Five stats showcasing Mason's great form
Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood scored again in our Premier League clash with Leicester City on Tuesday night.
The 19-year-old forward once again got on the scoresheet for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men against the Foxes. Following Luke Thomas' volleyed opener, Greenwood showed his immense attacking quality when he equalised for the Reds.
In the 15th minute, our no.11 received the ball from Amad at the edge of the Leicester area before making his way into the box. With his body moving away from the goal, the Academy product pulled off a clever and precise right-footed finish into the far corner to make it 1-1.
Highlights: United 1 Leicester City 2
Greenwood scored a lovely first-half equaliser, but in the end we were beaten by goals from Thomas and Soyuncu…

2006 - Amad Diallo Traore assisting Mason Greenwood is the first time two teenagers have combined for a Premier League goal since May 2006, when David Wheater set up Adam Johnson for Middlesbrough against Bolton. Dirtbags. #MUNLEI

HOW THE JOURNALISTS REACTED
As you can see below, the journalists covering the Reds were all impressed with Greenwood's excellent goal against Leicester...
Eight in his last 11 appearances for Greenwood. Not bad considering he's started a fair few of those games out wide. Nice finish into the far corner this time. Game on.

Great touch and finish from Greenwood. Had absolutely nothing up until then but didn't matter. That's eight goals in his last 11 games. Looking sharp.

Amad did really well to pounce on Thomas' error but that from Greenwood is sensational. The movement, the footwork, the finish. Perfection. #mufc
