Mason Greenwood beats Man Utd team-mate Rashford’s goal haul before turning 19 and is best young striker in Europe
Jun 30, 2020
MASON GREENWOOD’S goal against Brighton means he has scored more times than Marcus Rashford did before turning 19.
Greenwood fired home a sumptuous left-footed shot against the Seagulls in their own back yard on Tuesday night to give top-four chasers United a well-deserved lead.
Bruno Fernandes doubled United’s advantage before the break before adding a second afterwards, but it was Greenwood’s performance that had everyone talking.
The teenager now has 13 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils after breaking into the senior side last season.
That’s one more goal than 22-year-old Rashford achieved before he turned 19.

And with Greenwood not reaching that age until October, he has plenty more time to increase his number of successful strikes.
Meanwhile, it’s also emerged that Greenwood’s goal against Brighton - his fifth in the current Premier League campaign - makes him the top under-19 scorer across Europe’s top five leagues.
That’s a fantastic achievement for a player who last term failed to score in his four appearances.
