Manchester United star Mason Greenwood was unfortunate to not be on the scoresheet after an amazing showcase versus West Ham United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men could just get a 1-0 triumph over David Moyes’ stars and the youthful assailant will be lamenting how he botched the opportunity to add to the scoreline. Manchester United owes it to Craig Dawson’s own goal for why they escaped with each of the three points however it might have been an alternate story on one more day.
West Ham didn’t have a shot on track against Dean Henderson so Greenwood and co truly had the chance to turn the screw versus West Ham.
Even Solksjaer praised his performances by saying: “Yes, he was top. But then he has performed really well recently. He’s growing in maturity. His decision-making has always been really good. He just needs that goal again. It will come, today he was very, very close and it was a top performance.”

Lamentably the hair-raising teen was on some unacceptable side of the post yet his exhibition was absolutely reassuring as the details beneath shows. Greenwood was maybe toward the beginning of the period not in the most awesome form but rather he has since turned a corner.
Shockingly for him, regardless of his exhibitions improving, the goals haven’t got back to him right now thus he looks more awful than he’s really been. Greenwood was absurdly clinical and dangerous last season, especially in the subsequent half, however this season he hasn’t seen himself on the scoresheet as regularly.
In any case, it’s not difficult to see that should he keep up the kind of show he put in versus West Ham, he’ll get back on the scoresheet instantly.
Such performances will boost his confidence going forward.
