Mason Greenwood
It’s been a difficult campaign for Mason Greenwood at times.
The England international was sent home from international duty in disgrace at the beginning of the season after breaching coronavirus rules in Iceland.
But, with five goals in his last eight matches, Greenwood is another reborn star in Solskjaer’s squad.
The Norwegian was visibly thrilled by his goal against Roma on Thursday, punching the air in jubilation.
And if Greenwood carries on at this rate he’ll soon be a regular in the side, if he isn’t already.

Solskjaer’s admission
Speaking before the match on Friday, Solskjaer insisted United would be fully focused on football - despite protests over the Glazers’ handling of the club set to commence before kick off.
"It's important that the fans' views are listened to and that we communicate better,” he said.
"My job is to focus on the football side and that we have the best possible team. I've been backed and had great support from the club and the owners and I'm sure I'll get the backing again to go one step further.
"I'm so happy that all the clubs agreed this shouldn't be the way of moving forward.
"When the protests are on, it is important they go in a good fashion and that we keep it peaceful.
"The players are focused on the game and nothing else. They have handled difficult situations before. It was a strange week before the Leeds game after the Super League announcement.
"But I'm not worried one second that our mind is not on the football. As you saw in the [Europa League] semi, the players are fully focused on performing."
