But Solskjaer dismisses the modern-day obsession with statistics and is pleased to see Greenwood learning from a goalscoring master in Cavani.
The United boss likened Mason’s reaction finish against Brighton to a headed conversion by our Uruguayan at St Mary’s against Southampton, in United’s 3-2 comeback win last November.
“The world nowadays is so into stats, goals, assists and this and that, but the boy has played fantastic in the last two or three months,” Solskjaer told an after-match press conference.
