“He (Greenwood) is better than me now, that’s for sure!” Solskjaer said.

“He’s still very young but he’s maturing and he’s developed so much since I came in.

“His appetite for football is growing I don’t want to put too much pressure apart from go out there and enjoy yourself and work hard.”

Man Utd fans will now hope Greenwood can take his opportunity as Simon Peach also tweeted that Solskjaer confirmed he’d start the teenager in this game.
