Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed he has held conversations with Gareth Southgate about Mason Greenwood.

The 19-year-old scored the winner for United in their 1-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux on Sunday.

Southgate recently neglected to select Greenwood for England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, but Solskjaer says the Three Lions boss has earmarked his young striker as a future star.

"[On Greenwood] The boy's special," Solskjaer told MUTV.

"I've had a good conversation with Gareth and we discussed Mason of course and all the other players but Mason's one we both can see is a top player for Man United and England.

"The boy of course wants to play for his country but I think at the moment the best for him is to focus on his everyday football and I'm sure he'll come good for England in the end."
