Man Utd: It's hard to leave Mason Greenwood out says Solskjaer
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is wrong to compare Mason Greenwood to Cristiano Ronaldo, according to former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison. Earlier this week Solskjaer said he sees similarities between Greenwood and Ronaldo’s finishing abilities. Greenwood, 18, has scored eight goals for United in all competitions this season.

“I like his movement in and around the box, he scores all sorts of goals.
“I like him because he’s always in and around the six-yard box.
“You see some of his goals, we know he can finish outside the box, but also in the box he’s got really good movement. He deserved his start and yeah he took it.
“He is a goalscorer, I don’t think you should hype him up too much, that’s what we do over here.

“There is not too many I can remember like him who has every single technique,” Solskjaer said of the United academy graduate.
“He's not just 50-50 with both feet but probably 60-60!
“Cristiano can score just as many with his left and they are proper strikes. But Mason can curl the ball with both feet, he is an exceptional finisher.
“He has got the lot. He's young and has got a lot to learn, he knows that. He needs to head the ball like Marcus Rashford can.

“I don't think we are going to see the best of Mason for a couple of years. But I can remember when I was 18 but I was nowhere near the level playing at he was.”
United are back in action on Saturday when they visit Sean Dyche’s Burnley.
