Mason Greenwood (second from left) was on song for United
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!

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
