Odion Ighalo has described teammate Mason Greenwood as a "young and exciting" prospect that has a bright future ahead of him at Old Trafford.
Greenwood has made the most of his first-team opportunities this term by scoring 12 times in 35 appearances, the majority of those coming from the bench.
The 18-year-old has earned high praise from boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and strike partner Ighalo expects him to become an important figure for United in the coming years.
"He's very young and exciting. Very good player, left and right, he can shoot and score goals," he said during an Instagram live appearance.
"He's a player for the future for Man United. He's doing well now but in two or three years he is going to be doing very, very well."
Ighalo joined United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January and has been tipped to sign a permanent deal in the summer.
