Mason Greenwood: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Man Utd are not worried about striker burning out

Mason Greenwood is in no danger of suffering burn out at Manchester United, insists head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


The 18-year-old has become a fixture in Solskjaer's first team since the Premier League restart, continuing his impressive form with his 16th goal of the season in United's 3-0 win over Aston Villa in midweek.

Solskjaer does not believe he is currently overexerting Greenwood but accepts the club will need to manage the forward's development over a long-term basis.



"At that age he has so much energy, he has no fear, you just want to play football. If we had a day off he'd probably go and play football with his mates," said Solskjaer.

"I'm not worried about Mason this season, of course we have to look after him over his career.

"He is a fantastic boy to work with and he just loves playing. He is getting rewards for his hard work."



Solskjaer also says he did not entertain the thought of loaning Greenwood out at the beginning of the season because he always expected him to contribute to the first-team with goals.

"We know what he is capable of and always trusted him to be a part of this squad and chip in with goals," he added.



"We see it everyday. He is just a natural footballer.

"The club know what they are doing with the education of players."
