Mason Greenwood will miss Manchester United’s clash with Watford on Saturday, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.

Greenwood has been a first-team regular for the Red Devils this season, so his absence is a blow to under-pressure boss Solskjaer.

With the 20-year-old out, United lined up with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford on the wings, with Bruno Fernandes behind Cristiano Ronaldo in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay were named in central midfield, with a regulation back four rather than the wing-back system used in recent weeks.
