Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now come out and stated that Greenwood could be a regular starter for Manchester United. This is because of injuries to regular strikers Martial and Rashford.
“I wouldn’t put my life on it,” Solskjaer was quoted as saying by Fox Sports Asia when asked if Martial and Rashford would be fit for the Arsenal clash.
“Mason has proven when he’s been on the pitch – against Astana and Rochdale – that when you get him in the box he’s dangerous,” he added.
“What’s pleased me about him is he doesn’t turn down chances to finish and he’s not 18 yet so I’m not worried about him at all.
“We’ve managed him (so far) and I can’t just throw him in the deep end all the time (but) he’s proved in those games he’s ready for the Premier League so I’ll have the weekend to think about it?” he stated.
