Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood admits he's been working with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since he was 9 years of age.

Playing in the youth setup alongside Solskjaer's son, Noah, he was given a few tips while the club legend did his training badges.

Greenwood, 19, recalled on BT Sport: "He spoke to me.

"He came and did his coaching badges at United.

"I was only with the Under-8s and Under-9s and I trained with his son.

"He was telling me about that, I couldn't remember it because I was so young but he told me about it.

"He always speaks about movements into the box, shooting and stuff, so it was a good benefit to have him there."

Solskjaer would later hand Greenwood his United debut in September 2019, days before he turned 18.
