Manchester United's star boy Mason Greenwood has enjoyed a wonderful start to the 2021-22 campaign.

Greenwood has developed into one of the best young forwards in the world of late. The 19-year old is a frighteningly good finisher, capable of scoring with both feet. Greenwood has consistently been compared to Robin van Persie, and the forward has what it takes to replicate the Dutch great's career.

The young forward has scored in all three Premier League games this season. Greenwood will surely benefit from the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, and is already being mentored by Edinson Cavani and Solskjaer.


Striker - Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United was one of the most surprising deals of the transfer window.

Manchester United fans hold Ronaldo in high regard, and the Portuguese superstar is one of Manchester United's greats. However, few would have expected him to return to the club for a second spell or the fashion in which the transfer was completed.

Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United from Juventus for £13.5 million this summer. The 36-year old is not the all-round player he once was, but remains an extremely prolific goalscorer. Ronaldo guarantees goals as long as Manchester United get the ball to him in the box.


Left-winger - Jadon Sancho

Before Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival, Jadon Sancho was Manchester United's superstar signing to improve their attack.

Manchester United's pursuit of Sancho has been well-covered. The England international was heavily linked with the club last summer but a move failed to materialize. Sancho joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund this time around for £76.5 million.

The 21-year old is one of the best young footballers in the world. Sancho was sensational for Borussia Dortmund and fans are eager to see what he can do at Old Trafford. The England international is capable of operating on both wings, but we expect him to start on the left in this contest.
