Mason Greenwood is the latest youth product to make a name for himself.

Mason Greenwood’s talent stood out to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer even at the age of seven – an exciting young player that the Manchester United manager says epitomises the academy ahead of this weekend’s milestone.

Sunday’s Premier League encounter against Everton will be the 4,000th consecutive match in which United will have named at least one youth graduate in the matchday squad, stretching all the way back to 1937.

There will be number of academy products involved as the club reaches that landmark at Old Trafford, where Greenwood is sure to be in the squad after his man-of-the-match display against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

“The academy is huge part of who we are as a club and what we want to achieve,” he said.

“We ultimately want to develop young players who are talented enough to wear the Manchester United shirt, but we also want to develop good people who are humble, confident, disciplined and creative.

“This milestone also gives us an opportunity to reflect on some of the teams and individuals who have helped to bring so much success to Manchester United and to remind us of the ongoing importance of developing the next generation of young players.”
