Mason Greenwood now shares insane stat with two Man Utd legends including George Best
MASON GREENWOOD shares an incredible record with two Manchester United legends following his goal on Saturday.
The England teenager, 19, scored the second goal of United's 5-1 thumping of rivals Leeds to give his side the lead in the second-half.
The strike was Greenwood's 30th goal for the club in his 106th game following his debut in 2019 aged just 17.
Greenwood is now one of just THREE Man Utd players to score that many goals before reaching 20 years old.
And he joins an illustrious - and short - list of players to have managed the feat.
Norman Whiteside scored 39 times for United before hitting 20.
George Best wasn't far behind, scoring 37 times for the Old Trafford giants as a teenager.
While Greenwood is a few goals behind those two on the list, he has time on his side.

Greenwood doesn't turn 20 until October 1, giving him a shade over six weeks to add to his tally.
He needs ten to become United's leading teenage scorer ever - and has a predicted EIGHT games left to go.
Man Utd play five times in the Premier League before October 1 and will also play their first two Champions League group stage games and one Carabao Cup tie.
With the record in Greenwood's sights, fans have been quick to pile praise on the youngster.
One tweeted: "He's a generational talent."
Another said: "It says a lot when the two others ahead of him are absolute legends."
A third wrote: "Mason is going to become one of the elite level strikers in the world. United must not let him get away."
And one concluded: "Being next to Best and Whiteside is the greatest compliment ever for this kid."
