Greenwood was also compared to legendary former United striker Robin van Persie after his left foot finish rescued a point for United.

And the Norwegian admitted in the week Greenwood is making it difficult for him to leave him out.

He said: "Mason is making it hard for me to leave him out.

“But [Sir Alex Feguson's] comments were that it was hard to keep players who score out of the team.

“It's very very difficult now to put a team out there without having Mason in my mind, yes."
