Ole: Sky’s the limit for Mason Greenwood

The 18-year-old netted his 13th goal of the season in all competitions at Brighton on Tuesday, and followed it up with a sublime assist, his fifth in total this campaign, as Bruno Fernandes capped off a convincing win for the Reds.

Mason has started each of our last two league games, and the boss believes the way in which the forward has gradually had his playing time increased is starting to pay dividends.

“We have done well over the course of the season, giving him more and more exposure, more and more game-time,” Ole told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

“You know, it’s not easy being a young boy, he could still play in this season’s FA Youth Cup team, so he’s a young boy that we have to look after.

“But he’s performing from the bench or when he starts, and he’s developed fantastically this season. So, the sky is the limit, it’s up to him. He knows what he should do and can do and must do, to keep on playing, but that will be between us.”
