MANCHESTER UNITED ace Mason Greenwood has proved he is also a star off the pitch after sending an ill fan a heartwarming letter.

The England talent, 19, took notice of the teenager’s situation by former Man Utd youth player Nenad Smiljanic.

“I hope you are soon better and back home.

“It is great that you are a Man Utd fan and I hope we can win something for you this season.

“I’m enjoying playing for the first team and hope to score lots of goals for you over the next few seasons. Get well soon.”
