Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with how Mason Greenwood performed in their pre-season win over Leeds.

He opened the scoring in the four-nil win in Perth with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Phil Jones also on target and Solskjaer was impressed with the 17-year-old's contribution.

"We're delighted with the goal he's scored. It's important for strikers to get that goal, even though we've said, and we know, he's capable of scoring goals. But that first goal is maybe going to be a weight off his shoulders.

"I think his movement, his cleverness.... he's going to be a very good player, the young boy.

"He can play all front-four positions: he can play 10, seven, 11, nine, so he's a natural footballer, and with his left foot coming in, he can play anywhere along the frontline.

"He's a natural and when he takes a penalty (he can take it) with his right, he takes it with his left, free-kicks right, free-kick left, so he's almost what you call 50-50.

"Maybe 51-49 left-footed, and you see a talented boy there. He has got every opportunity to make it as a Man United player.

"Of course, it's also going to be about luck, staying clear of injuries, being professional, and I'm sure he's going to grab his chance because he's got everything there for him."

When asked if Greenwood could play in their Premier League opener against Chelsea next month, Solskjaer admitted it was a possibility.

"He's got a chance to start that one. Yeah, definitely.

"He's capable, more than capable, and he'll always be there, in and around the box creating chances, and I won't say that's not a possibility.

"No, it's a good possibility if he keeps going as he does. Difficult to keep players out that perform well."
