Man Utd boss Solskjaer explains throwing on Greenwood

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was happy to hand Mason Greenwood a Premier League debut for victory over West Ham.

Solskjaer says he threw on the teen with the aim to get a goal.

He said, "Towards the end when you've got Mason [Greenwood] at right wing, Andreas [Pereira] at right back - we had to go for it.

"Maybe we should have tried to be a bit more cautious but that's the way [it is at United]. Mason brought some energy to the crowd, he tried to take people on and I'm very happy with his home debut."
