Teenage Sensation Mason Greenwood Gives Manchester United Winning Start In Europa League Campaign

By Daily Sports on September 20, 2019

Teenager Mason Greenwood’s first senior goal ensured Manchester United made a winning start to their Europa League campaign against Astana at Old Trafford.

On a night the 17-year-old will never forget, Greenwood produced a clever finish in front of the Stretford End after the visitors from Kazakhstan were threatening to hold out for a draw.

Brazil midfielder Fred hit the bar from 25 yards before forcing a fine save from a free-kick, while England forward Marcus Rashford wasted a string of chances against the European minnows, who did not register a shot on target.

But frustration turned to celebration when Greenwood, who has been at United since the age of six, popped up with the winner.

Even after his goal, a much-changed United continued to waste chances.
