Greenwood becomes second to none...
Greenwood
chalks up another victory over Partizan Belgrade and Manchester United triumphs
in the Europa League on Thursday. The confident and cogent 3-0 win has helped
the Red Devils assert ten points from their first four games in Europe this
season. They not only scored five goals but also proved to be the team which
did not cave in to the other competitors in the entire game as yet.
Greenwood is
one eighteen year old lad who opened the scoring at Old Trafford before setting
up Anthony Martial for the Red Devils' second in the 33rd and that too in the
21st minute. He is the youngest stripling to have both scored and assisted in a
European game attaining both the feathers in his cap, as a goal and as an
assist.

On the other
side Rashford expressed himself with a radiant smile on watching his side’s
attack spring into action and emerging unlike the last two Europa League games
where he just took care of one shot on target. Rashford missed a few chances but
he made sure to score in the second half. The first missed chance was on being
picked out by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, unmarked, ten yards out when he put a
first-time shot wide. The second was better than the former by Juan Mata’s
pass.
