Man Utd boss Solskjaer admits: I thought I'd started Greenwood more

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is full of praise for young striker Mason Greenwood.

The teenager is United's leading marksman in the Europa League and Solskjaer has praised his ability to fit in against some of the Premier League's toughest opponents.

“Every time a young boy plays well and scores, that tells you he should be playing more," he said.

“Mason has been excellent. I'm surprised he's only started four Premier League games, but he's really done well in most of them.

“He played Tottenham at home, Everton and City away, they are tough games and he's been thrown in at the deep end.

“I'm looking forward to seeing him because he's a special talent."
