Manchester United and England trio Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho are all in agreement on the undeniable talent of Mason Greenwood.

The teenage sensation has started the season in superb form, scoring in all three of the club’s Premier League games so far.

In a recent interview, the three United stars were asked to sum up how impressive Greenwood is in training and their responses were resounding.

“He hates coming up against me,” Shaw joked when speaking to UMM recently.

“The talent he’s got is so scary, it’s unbelievable,” he continued. “I think he’ll be one of the most talked about players in the world in the next two or three years.”

Harry Maguire concurred and the experienced defender explained just why he’s so difficult to face.

“[He’s] obviously so young, but so refreshing,” said the United skipper. “He’s got everything; every attribute to keep pushing on and keep improving. I think you’ve seen he can play down the right, but he can play in the middle as well.

“I think the hardest thing in training is that you can’t give him a yard because if you give him a yard it ends up in the back of the net. His finishing is that good. In the five-a-side you always want him on your team because he’s one of the top goalscorers.”

“I’ve seen a bit of Mason in training and he is crazy,” added Sancho. “We’re still getting to know each other, movement and things like that and getting that understanding.”
