Greenwood's goals

With the goals, he moved alongside Wayne Rooney as United's top teenage goalscorers while keeping the club's slim Premier League title hopes alive.

 "I keep focused," he told Sky. "I knew my goals would come and kept my head down and I've taken my opportunities."

He added: "I like to do that, cut inside like that. I did it last season but you have to mix it up so defenders don't catch you out. Happy with both of my goals.

"I'm happy I'm playing a lot, Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] trusts me and I do my best on the pitch and try to help my team-mates and it's showing on the pitch."
