A selection of Manchester United fans on Twitter heaped praise on Mason Greenwood after scoring the winning goal in the club’s 2-1 comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday.
United went behind after just 13 minutes as former player Danny Welbeck scored on his return to Old Trafford with a close-range header.
It took the Red Devils until the 62nd minute to find the equaliser.
Bruno Fernandes provided an assist for Marcus Rashford, who hit his first-time shot into the far bottom corner after cutting inside from the left wing.
Thereafter, United were slightly fortuitous to avoid conceding a penalty after Harry Maguire appeared to have fouled Welbeck in the box.
They eventually managed to score the winner in the 83rd minute through Mason Greenwood, who beat goalkeeper Robert Sanchez with a diving header.
Some United fans were delighted for the youngster, who had just shifted into the striker’s role before bagging the winning strike.
Twitter reactions:
Mason Greenwood was moved to the number 9 position and scored within 2 minutes.
He deserves and needs a chance to play there now. pic.twitter.com/63srPQnkNV
