What did Mason Greenwood that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer loved

Manchester Untied boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Mason Greenwood's fearlessness after the youngster's first Premier League goal during the 3 - 3 draw with Sheffield Untied. The 18-year-old replaced Andreas Pereira in the 73rd minute and scored the Red Devils' second equalizer four minutes later. Marcus Rashford put Untied ahead in the 79th minute, however, Sheffield United equalized the score due to Oli McBurnie's goal in the 90th minute. Greenwood has made his 10th Premier League appearance this term and Solskjaer was delighted with the player's results. When asked how the players could learn from the match, the United boss replied: "Play like we did in the 10 minutes when we scored. Just release the fear, play with belief, confidence. They've come through the academy, most of these boys. Mason comes on and plays with no fear, Brandon [Williams]'s great goal, it's something you try to teach them, but along the way in the academy you don't play these games. They will have learnt a lot by these 90-odd minutes, so there will be some pluses as well." Solskjaer compared their 70 minutes of United's display with last season's Everton fixture. The Red Devils manager believes the integration of homegrown players and signings have improved the club's mentality. "You could see we brought young players on with Mason. Brandon scores the goal, you've got three lads we signed who have made a good impact, so for me the boys will have learnt a lesson from 71 minutes and the 95th minute or whatever it was [when McBurnie levelled]. But the biggest part must be the way they've had character to stay in the game and turn it round. He (Greenwood)'s a goalscorer, I've always said it and did an interview this week about number of minutes you need to make an impact and he made an impact today. But the way we turned these bad 70 minutes into a positive feeling is good," he added.
