Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has signed a new deal keeping him at the club until 2025 with an option for a further year, the Premier League side said on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old academy graduate, who made his senior debut in a dramatic Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-German in March 2019, has played 82 times in all competitions for the Old Trafford team.

"When you join the club at seven years old, you just dream of playing for the first-team one day", said  Greenwood, who hasn’t hit the ground running yet this season with just four goals and five assists in all competitions.
