Former Manchester United midfielder, Owen Hargreaves, has singled out forward, Mason Greenwood for praise following the Red Devils\u2019 1-0 win over Astana in the Europa League on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

He also compared Greenwood with former Man United striker, Robin van Persie after the 17-year-old impressive display against Astana.<\/p>\n

Greenwood scored the only goal of the match in the 73rd minute to ensure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side got all three points against the visitors at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say Greenwood has a great feel for the game,\u201d Hargreaves told BT Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time he touched the ball there was a purpose to it, he didn\u2019t try and force things, he took what was there.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a young kid at 17 to have that composure in the box, he had a picture of what he wanted \u2013 come in on the left foot, chop, like Van Persie, a good finish. That\u2019s a top player, he\u2019s going to be a top player.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI think he could play in the Premier League, he\u2019s going to be a big piece of the puzzle.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
