Greenwood joined Leeds in the summer from Arsenal and made in instant impact in netting five goals in three games for United's under-23s and picking up the Premier League 2 Player of the Month Award for September.

The 18-year-old then picked up an ankle injury whilst on duty with England's under-19s in October but the teenager has now returned to full fitness and netted for England's under-19s this week in an 8-0 romp against Derby County's under-23s.
