'Cold-hearted killer' Greenwood backed to become Man Utd goal-machine

Mason Greenwood is good enough to make it into the England national team’s squad for the EURO 2020, according to Rio Ferdinand.

At just 18 years of age, Mason Greenwood managed to earn a spot in the Manchester United line-up and became a regular starter in the second half of the 2019/20 season.

In what was a mixed season for United, Greenwood remained a bright spark as he produced a remarkable return of 17 goals in all competitions with the senior team.

It is expected that his exploits will help him get his first senior call-up in the England national team for the delayed EURO 2020 finals.

Manager Gareth Southgate will soon announce his squad selection for next month’s Nations League, and it is also expected that the young striker will be one of his choices.

A former England international rates Greenwood very highly and only expects great things from him in the coming years.

Rio Ferdinand told The Sun: “Mason is a cold-hearted killer, a great finisher. He’s a natural goalscorer who is going to score loads and loads of goals.

“Could the Euros being delayed by a year actually work out for Mason? Probably, yeah.

“He’s a great talent and what I also love about him is his demeanor, his character. No matter the stage, same face, same expression, same way he carries himself. He knows he’s good enough. ‘Just give me the ball and I’ll do it’.”
