Solskjaer sees himself in Greenwood and would welcome finishing competition with Man Utd forward

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer considers Mason Greenwood as the player most akin to him in the current Manchester United squad, with the Red Devils boss saying he would welcome a finishing competition with the 19-year-old forward.

Between 1996 and 2007, the man currently calling the shots at Old Trafford endeavoured to provide energy and goal threat to Sir Alex Ferguson’s attacking unit.

He was often asked to fill an impact role off the bench, with academy graduate Greenwood in a similar position as part of United’s class of 2020-21 as he looks to nail down a regular role in the final third.
