Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Greenwood a natural

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no doubts about the quality of 17 year-old striker Mason Greenwood.

Solskjaer is backing the teenager to have an impact in his breakthrough season.

“He is a natural footballer," he said. “He is enjoying his time on the pitch. He comes alive when you get closer to the goal, which is great to see in finishing sessions, and he is always the one who ends up in the last two. He always scores the goals.

“He is not scoring scrappy goals, I've got to say. He's got proper goal-scorer goals and he also has to learn that scrappy bit inside the six-yard box and stick your head in where it hurts - but he has got all the range of finishes."
