Manchester United 1-0 Astana : 5 Things we learned from the game | UEFA Europa League 2019/20

#1 The youngsters show what they can do

Manchester United v FK Astana: Group L - UEFA Europa League

Solskjaer was given a glimpse of what the youngsters could do in this United squad. For the first time, Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong, and Mason Greenwood started together for United and what a day it was for those young lads.

While Chong didn't really have a great game, Gomes and Greenwood showed that they are really for this level. Greenwood scored a brilliant goal for the Red Devils as he had a lot to do after he received the ball on the right-wing. He faked a shot with his left-foot, chopped the ball onto his right-foot, beat his marker and stroked it through the goalkeeper's legs.

Greenwood also had a great opportunity in the first half as he skimmed the crossbar with a great strike. His teammate, Gomes showed his ability in the number 10 position. The 19-year-old was pretty slick on the ball and he played some delightful passes on the day.

He looked a bit tired as the game went on and was seemingly substituted for Jesse Lingard. All in all, it was an impressive showing from the youngsters in a rather not so impressive performance.
