Mason Greenwood has welcomed the comparisons with former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie, hailing the Dutchman as an 'all-time great'. Gary Neville was one of the first people to notice the similarities between Greenwood and van Persie, who fired United to their last Premier League title in 2013. Greenwood added: 'I used to watch him at United and obviously at Arsenal as well. I used to use both when I was younger but used to use my right foot quite a bit more. 'When I was going back, I was not as strong as on the other foot and now think my left foot is a bit stronger, cutting in from the right.'
