'He's a natural' - Solskjaer hails Man Utd young gun Greenwood

Manchester United prodigy Mason Greenwood scored his first goal for the club during a 4-0 win over Leeds in pre-season on Wednesday, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed the teenager for big things.

The 17-year-old, who made his senior debut in March against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, opened the scoring in Perth as he arrived in the box to slot home an Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross.

Greenwood would impress throughout the entire first 45 minutes before being replaced at half-time alongside the entire Red Devils lineup.
