Mason Greenwood deserves to be the ideal replacement for Anthony Martial in the team
Solskjaer promised a massive rebuilding exercise at Old Trafford when he took over as full-time boss. What really enticed the United faithful was the Norwegian’s desire to build around youth. After United’s continued failure to impress since the start of the new season, it is time for Solskjaer to go back to the drawing board and show renewed faith in the young talents at his disposal.

Angel Gomes.
The very first change has to be the use of Mason Greenwood. The youngster has recently turned 18 and deserved to lead the line, especially since Marcus Rashford has been continuously poor through the middle. With United’s midfield failing to gel so far, James Garner deserves a chance as well. And Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes could be alternatives to Andreas Pereira in the right-forward role. Gomes, incidentally, could also do justice to the No. 10 position.

As such, it is time for Solskjaer to take a risk and put his trust in his immensely talented youth players. It could well turn out to be one of his better decisions.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
