Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard was full of praise for Mason Greenwood after defeat to Cardiff City.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handed a full debut to striker Greenwood.

"He was brilliant," Lingard told MUTV. "He enjoyed the occasion, he gave us that energy, he was getting on the ball and he got shots away.

"That is compliment to the kid, he is not scared of the occasion. He is not scared of playing in front of 75,000 people. He really took it upon himself to take the game to them.

"Obviously he has people around him to help us and that is our job.

"He is kind of laid-back to be honest. When you get to know him he comes out of his shell a bit more."
