Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lifted the lid on what impressed him the most about Mason Greenwood. The 17-year-old has recently been promoted to the United first team by the gaffer.
Greenwood has a crucial role to play at Old Trafford after the departures of Romwlu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez. Solskjaer expects him to take up the responsibility and deliver the required goods.
Greenwood could make his first full start against Southampton, given that Martial is injured.
“He is a natural footballer,” said Solskjaer.
“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,’ said Solskjaer. ‘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.”
