Greenwood joins Premier League royalty as his double did part of the damage to Bournemouth’s hopes of avoiding relegation this season. He finished off with two goals from managing just two shots during the game and both landed on target.
The 18-year old forward equalised for Manchester United after an error from De Gea allowed Junior Stanislas’ to score at his near post in the 15th-minute of the game. He then went on to score United’s fourth with a superb effort after half-time when he took on Diego Rico on the edge of the area and cut a right-footed shot back across goal into the far corner.
Bruno Fernandes scored a beautiful freekick and created two chances that led to goals during the game at the theatre of dreams. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial completing the list of scores for Manchester United in the 5-2 bashing.

There was a sense of ruthlessness about United’s attacking play for the last few games or even since Bruno Fernandes joined the squad. The attackers looked really sharp in front of goal and hungrier than ever.
