Manchester United fans have urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to start Mason Greenwood against Arsenal on Monday.
The Red Devils come into the fixture against the Gunners under major pressure, with Solskjaer’s side winning just one of their last five Premier League fixtures.
And Solskjaer looks set to be without Marcus Rashford, while Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are also doubts for the game at Old Trafford.
However, talking to the media, cited by Sky Sports, the United boss admitted he wouldn’t be worried to start Greenwood up front on Monday, with his attacking options fairly limited.
He [Greenwood] has proved when he gets in the box he is dangerous.
I am not worried about him at all but we have to manage him. You can’t throw him in at the deep end all the time. I have the weekend to think about starting him.
And the news was quick to filter to these United supporters, who urged the boss to hand the teenager his first Premier League start of the season against Unai Emery’s side.

Twitter: @utdxtra Obviously he has to start! We’ve got no one else, who’s fault is that???? #WoodwardOut (@HoodedNeo)
Twitter: @utdxtra There’s no other strikers available. If he doesnt start him he should be sacked during the warmup (@Alex_Trickey)

Read Arsenal verdict
Greenwood’s potential selection could prove to be a shrewd one by the Norwegian, and the Gunners need to be careful if he’s in the side.
Marcus Rashford burst onto the Premier League scene at Old Trafford against the Gunners back in 2016 aged just 18, scoring twice in a 3-2 win.
And Greenwood has recently shown he has the ability to turn into a future star, so Arsenal fans will be hoping lightning doesn’t strike twice when it comes to United teenagers making a name for themselves against the Gunners.
