Man Utd boss Solskjaer dismisses Greenwood burnout fears

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he has no fears about Mason Greenwood suffering from burn-out.

Greenwood has been a revelation in his first full season, scoring 16 goals to endorse his status as one of the most exciting young players in the world.

“At that age you've got so much energy, no fear, and you just want to go and play football," said Solskjaer.

“If we had a day off, he'd be playing football with his mates, so I'm not worried about Mason next season.

“We just need to look after him his whole career. He's a fantastic boy, loves football and gets the result and rewards for his hard work.

“We know what he's capable of and we've always trusted him to be a part of this squad and chip in with performances and goals. We've seen it every day, I've seen it since I came to the club.

“He's just a natural footballer and when you put natural good footballers with better footballers, that gives him more opportunities to show his qualities.

“The club knows what they're doing when they're educating players."
