MANCHESTER: Teenager Mason Greenwood rescued a much-changed Manchester United from an embarrassing start to their Europa League campaign with the only goal to beat Kazakh champions Astana 1-0 at Old Trafford on Thursday (Sep 19). At just 17, Greenwood became the youngest goalscorer for United in European competition with a composed finish under Nenad Eric 17 minutes from time. "We always know that in and around the box he is one of the best finishers we have got," said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Greenwood's composure. Victory justified Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision to make nine changes from Saturday's Premier League win over Leicester with a host of youngsters given their chance to impress. Greenwood was joined in the starting line-up by Angel Gomes, Axel Tuanzebe and Tahith Chong. "Today was a great opportunity for them," added Solskjaer. "We made it hard for ourselves.

A searing pain around the eye and on one side of the head wakes up Niranjan on most nights. It lasts between 15 minutes to an hour and on some days returns after short periods of respite.
