Manchester United\u2019s phenomenal 18-year-old Mason Greenwood heads the charts in the Premier League for percentage of shots on target this season.<\/p>\n
The phenomenal 18-year-old has scored twelve goals and provided two assists in 36 appearances for the Red Devils this season. Remarkably, many of his creditable efforts came from the bench with nearly all of which came from playing on the right wing rather than his natural centre forward position.<\/p>\n
Greenwood\u2019s results are testimony in themselves, according to football statistic site fbref.com<\/em>,\u00a0backed up by some equally impressive statistics.<\/p>\n The impressive youngster has hit an incredible 57.1% of his 21 shots on target in the Premier League this season, the most of any player in any club, with Chelsea\u2019s Emerson Palmieri second on 53.8% (7 out of 13 shots on target) and Leicester\u2019s Jamie Vardy third on 52.6% (30 of 57 shots).<\/p>\n United\u2019s next most accurate shooter is Anthony Martial,\u00a0whose percentage is 47.5%, placing him 13th in the league.<\/p>\n Greenwood is also grouped in the top four players in the goals per shot statistic, registering 0.24 of a goal per shot (or 4.17 shots needed to score a goal). Vardy tops this category with a slightly better 0.26 (3.84 shots per goal), with Arsenal\u2019s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Arsenal\u2019s Martinelli both on 0.25 (4 shots per goal).<\/p>\n
