Romelu Lukaku has picked teenage sensation Mason Greenwood as Manchester United’s best young player. Predictably, plenty of fans have been fervently discussing his four word tweet.
Replying to a fan Q&A on Twitter, Lukaku named the academy graduate as United’s brightest youngster, commenting: “Greenwood that boy colddddd.”
Having been handed his first-team debut by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year, Greenwood has played in 39 games for United in this season so far, scoring 14 goals and providing 1 assist in all competitions. Although most of his appearances have come from the bench, the 18-year-old has still managed to bag 5 goals in the Premier League (WhoScored).
After arriving at Old Trafford from Everton for an initial £75m, the Belgium all-time leading goalscorer netted 42 goals in 96 matches for the Red Devils, before departing for Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan last summer for £74m.
Lukaku scored twice during Greenwood’s first game in the famous jersey, when Solskjaer’s side thumped Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the Champions League (Metro).
Unsurprisingly, loads of supporters replied to his answer on Twitter, with several fans leaving a positive response. One even added “miss you big man.”
Take a look at the rest of the best reactions we have found so far…
