Mason Greenwood played a vital role in coming off the bench against Sheffield United on Sunday, and his contribution has earned him praise from Manchester United fans.
It was the first Premier League goal the 18-year-old has scored, and he did brilliantly to create space in the six-yard box to tap in from Marcus Rashford’s brilliant low cross.
The poaching instinct he displayed didn’t go unnoticed by supporters, and for the player himself it will feel like the next step in his progression as a United player.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could now consider him as the first option to turn to in order to change the game, as his movement and finishing quality means it is always possible he will get on the scoresheet.
Here are some of the reactions to the striker’s first Premier League goal.
