Man Utd: Salomon Rondon links addressed by pundits
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained his decision not to start Odion Ighalo in Manchester United's Europa League tie against Club Brugge was due to the club trying to manage fitness levels amid a congested fixture list. Ighalo was a last-minute signing in the January transfer window and he made his debut in the 2-0 win over Chelsea, coming off the bench in stoppage time.
"If we are to be successful in the league, the Europa League and FA Cup we need everyone, and today was a chance to give them a chance because we played Monday.
“(It was) A physical and mental test for everyone. So we made a few changes."
Greenwood has been in excellent form having broken into the first-team this season, scoring 10 goals in all competitions.
The Europa League in particular has been a happy hunting ground for Greenwood, having scored four goals in the group stages.

They host Watford on Sunday before playing the return leg against Club Brugge next Thursday ahead of an away trip to face Everton at the start of March.
An FA Cup fifth round tie against Derby will take place in two weeks’ time before the derby against rivals Manchester City.
