Manchester United’s forward line wasn’t at its best against West Ham in the FA Cup last night but Mason Greenwood did demonstrate what a wonderful talent he is by showing off one piece of sublime skill.
The 19-year-old spun around on the ball near the touchline and ghosted past Hammers captain Mark Noble, which left many fans on Twitter comparing it to a similar trick used by former player Dimitar Berbatov:
So filthy, right in front of West Ham bench too!

Greenwood has certainly found his form once again in recent weeks. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that the teenager had suffered a “blip” in his performance levels this season but that is expected from a young player.
His skill on the ball and his finishing ability are not in doubt. However, the task for him will be to become more consistent so he can deliver goals and assists on a more regular basis. This campaign, the forward has scored just four times in 28 appearances.
