Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Greenwood has replaced Lukaku

Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Mason Greenwood has filled the void left by Romelu Lukaku's sale to Inter Milan.

Greenwood has repaid his manager with eight goals in all competitions so far this season.

Solsjaer said, "We always believed that Anthony (Martial) and Marcus (Rashford) were going to score goals. Mason has filled a big void, he has chipped in with goals.

"I'm not worried about goals from the centre forwards. Mason has eight now, Marcus and Anthony have quite a few.

"Romelu is a good striker and he will always score goals but it was time for him to move on.

"We didn't find the right one [replacement] outside of our club - we had Mason."
