"Greenwood a more natural finisher" than Martial and Rashford- Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says young Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood possesses better natural finishing skills than both of his teammates Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

The United boss knows a thing or two about goalscoring having netted 126 goals in 366 appearances for the Red Devils when he was a player, and he couldn't help but reference the 17-year-old Greenwood when mentioning the goalscoring abilities of Martial and Rashford.

"Natural finisher?" asked Solskjaer when questoned by the Man Utd website .

"Well, they've (Martial and Rashford) still got a way to go, because Mason's more of a natural finisher than those two.”

Solskjaer went on to detail what he wants to see from his side's attack this season, with Martial and Rashford both expected to start at Wolves on Monday night having both netted against Chelsea on Sunday.

"Anthony's had spells where he's played No.9 or centre forward under Louis van Gaal," continued Solskjaer.

"Then he's played on the left the last few years. I think him and Marcus are both capable of playing both positions.

”Sometimes, it will be Marcus playing through the middle and Anthony on the left, or Dan James on the left and one of them on the right, but, of course, the goals are scored from between the posts and not the worldies that we've seen them score, both of them.

“Marcus and Anthony, curlers up in the top corner. I want both of them to score the easy goals. You don't have to work too hard to score them, just a little bit of movement. It was a great counterattack [against Chelsea ], great runs by Anthony.

“I think maybe he felt he should have got the first pass, which went out wide to Jesse [Lingard] and he stopped. But then, he got himself back in a good position and, even though he might have mis-hit it, it went in. So, if he can get five extra goals like this every season, both of them, that's 10.”
