Manchester United v Partizan: Group L - UEFA Europa League

#3 Mason Greenwood

The Englishman started on the right side of the attack and impressed once again. Mason Greenwood combined excellently with Aaron Wan-Bissaka to torment Urosevic, the Partizan left-back. The Englishman ran the channels well and was stellar with his positioning. His link-up play with Mata and Anthony Martial gave the game most of its great moments.

Greenwood got United off to a flyer after a sustained spell of possession in the opening stages. He got to the end of Marcus Rashford’s pass, cut inside to open up some space for himself and then sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to give United a deserved lead. The youngster continued to be a threat even after the goal and was also involved in the build-up play that led to Martial’s goal.

After the break, the Englishman continued to be busy as a bee on the right-hand side of the field and even won a couple of free-kicks in dangerous areas. He worked hard as a part of the team and ensured that United continued to keep the away side under pressure right until the end of the game.
