United, however, put foot their foot down and refused to sell the 18-year-old. The youngster has impressed in the first team and is tipped for great things at United (h/t Daily Star).

Greenwood has made 40 appearances for the Red Devils since making his first-team debut in 2018. During his stint with the first-team, he has scored an impressive 12 goals and 4 assists. A versatile attacker, he is capable of playing anywhere along the front line.

The class of 2018?

The 18-year-old holds the record for being United’s youngest goalscorer in Europe. He set the mark of 17 years and 353 days when he scored against Astana in the UEFA Europa League this season.

United are so keen to keep the player that immediately after shutting the door on a move to Dortmund, the club immediately offered him a new contract (h/t Daily Star).

This should make United’s stance on the matter clear, therefore ending any speculation on the youngster’s future.
