MASON GREENWOOD WINS MONTHLY AWARD

 MASON GREENWOOD WINS MONTHLY AWARD
PC-INSTGARAM

Manchester United's prolific young striker Mason Greenwood has been named the Premier League 2 Player of the Month for April. The 17-year-old is the first Red to scoop the award after taking his goal tally to 30 in all competitions for the club in 2018/19.

Despite being the youngest of the five-man shortlist for the trophy, Mason came out on top after consideration from the panel, following his exploits throughout the month for Ricky Sbragia's side.

The centre-forward set up Nishan Burkart's effort in the 1-1 draw with West Brom on his maiden appearance at Old Trafford, crossing superbly from the right that with a superb display at Newcastle United's St James' Park.

He again assisted the opening goal for Burkart and also converted a wonderful free-kick during a 5-0 success for the Reds. In the final fixture of the season for the Under-23s, he netted against Wolves with a fine first-time finish and was unlucky not to be awarded another goal when a shot late on appeared to cross the line before being cleared.
