Mason Greenwood is perhaps the one player who will be staking a claim for a spot in the first team that would play against Chelsea in little more than a fortnight. The youngster has been fantastic on tour, showing his speed and skills and also impressing with his finishing ability. He does give Solskjaer a headache during team selection, but it is a worry that the Norwegian would love to get used to.

The youngster came on in the second half and there was an immediate spark in the United attack. Greenwood had a free role, popping up around the box and giving his markers a nightmare. He showed occasional sparks of brilliance right from the start, attempting to take on the entire opposition defense on quite a few occasions. And his moment arrived in the 76th minute.

United won a free-kick and Ashley Young’s shot was parried by Handanovic in the Inter Milan goal right into the path of Greenwood. The youngster showed massive composure in controlling the ball, sending the onrushing defender the wrong way and smashing the ball into the far corner through a crowd of defenders. A natural finisher at his best!
