It is impossible to argue with Wright. The United youngster has the talent to become a world-beater.
Ronaldo’s return is sure to help Greenwood’s development. He initially joined United as a boy and left as a man.
Twelve years later, he has returned with vast European experience and a plethora of silverware to his name.
United had already improved their squad this summer, and Ronaldo’s arrival is the cherry on top of the cake.
Greenwood will learn plenty from Ronaldo over the next few years and looks nailed on to become a global superstar.
