Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Mason Greenwood is learning the hard way at Manchester United.

The 19-year-old has struggled for consistent playing time this season.

But after he scored in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Solskjaer said he was pleased with Greenwood's progress.

"Yeah, Mason's turn and finish was absolutely top," Solskjaer told reporters.

"The boy is learning. He's learned the hard way and he's got to play, he's learning on the job.

"It is the intensity of this league, it's high, and he had a hard game on Thursday and plays today and produces that goal. Well done. More to come, definitely. One hundred per cent. The boy is learning, hungry to learn and his desire and attitude is improving all the time."
