Just what more does Mason Greenwood have to do to earn some regular starts for Manchester United?

The academy starlet has been one of the Red Devils' more impressive performers over the course of the season, having scored ten times across all competitions before the clash against Watford on Sunday afternoon.

Having only been restricted to cameo appearances in five of the last six games for United in the top-flight (the other didn't even see him come off the bench), Greenwood got the chance to impress against the Hornets. And boy did he take his opportunity with both hands.

Lining up on the right-hand side, the 18-year-old wreaked havoc, finished with a Sofascore rating of 8.3 - only behind Bruno Fernandes who received a mind-blowing 9.5. And when looking at the underlying numbers of Greenwood's performance, it is easy to see why he was rated so highly.

As well as a superbly taken goal to put the icing on the cake for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side's 3-0 win, Greenwood contributed significantly in other areas too. He provided three key passes, completed four of his five attempted long balls, and had a 100% success rate when it came to his three dribbles too - all evidence of a player who always looked to play on the front foot and get his side into gear offensively.

And whilst that in itself would have been enough for people to suggest he enjoyed a great game, the teenager also did his defensive work diligently. He made three tackles (only Luke Shaw and Fred had more respectively), and won an impressive seven of his nine ground duels.

It showed Solskjaer that he isn't simply a passenger on defence, and just trying to concentrate on stealing the limelight. Greenwood embraced the dirty work in a real, all-round, mature display. It was more than worthy of the United manager now really unleashing him over these coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Man Utd fans are fuming with this injury update on key man.
