Manchester United boss Solskjaer praised the quality of the young Manchester United Academy graduate beforedefending his attacking output this season. Greenwood has not scored regularly like he did last season but it doesn’t really matter according to his manager.

England international Greenwood has seven goals in 42 appearances in all competitions this season in comparison to the attacking return of 17 goals in 49 games last season. His latest goal came during the comeback win over hosts Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. The Englishman came off the bench to score the clinching goal in the 3-1 win over Spurs.
