Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed "special" teenage striker Mason Greenwood as the Manchester United boss juggles his resources to meet the demands of four games in just eight days. Greenwood, 19, overtook Wayne Rooney as United's top-scoring teenager in Premier League history in Sunday's 3-1 win over Aston Villa. Solskjaer substituted Greenwood with 25 minutes remaining of the Villa game to keep the England forward as fresh as possible. Solskjaer last week said he was planning sweeping changes during United's tough run, adding that the knock-on effects in the Premier League top-four race was "everyone else's problem". "They're in the first-team squad, they're training with us every day, so I would think that some of the young boys will get an appearance, definitely."
