* Manchester United want to reward Mason Greenwood for his progress
* They only tied him to a new deal last October but want to give him fresh terms
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has used him from the bench throughout this season
Mason Greenwood could head a pack of young Manchester United stars in signing a new contract after breaking into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's set-up, according to reports.
United only tied Greenwood down to a deal last October, but they want to reward him after his progression and they have therefore opened talks to improve the terms of his deal.
According to the Athletic, he could command as much as £25,000 per week — along with bonuses depending on performances.

Greenwood has been given opportunities from the bench in all four of United's Premier League games so far this season.
He has played a total of 47 minutes after scoring twice in pre-season. There is also an expectation that Greenwood will start some games in the Carabao Cup and the Europa League.
Solskjaer has been keen on the 17-year-old for a while and gave him his first start against Cardiff on the final day of last season.
In July, he made clear how highly he rated the forward, who was recently called up by England Under 21s.
The Norwegian said: 'I think with his movement and his cleverness, he's going to be a very good player, the young boy.
'He can play all of the front-three positions, or across the front four, as he can play No 10, No 7, No 11 and No 9.
'He's a natural footballer with his left foot, coming in, but he's got two feet. He takes free kicks with his left, free kicks with his right.
'He must stay clear of injuries, be professional and I'm sure he's going to grab his chance. Everything is there for him.'
United are also expected to enter talks with the likes of Angel Gomes, James Garner, Tahith, Brandon Williams and Ethan Laird.
