Concerned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to hold talks with Man Utd forward Mason Greenwood

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to hold talks with Mason Greenwood after a troubled couple of weeks for the teenager.

Greenwood, 18, was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide, also known as ‘hippy crack’, after a snapchat video from several weeks ago emerged.

The controversial clip came out not long after Greenwood and Phil Foden were sent home in disgrace after breaking Iceland’s lockdown rules to bring girls into the England team hotel.

After two high profile misdemeanours, Solskjaer will now speak to Greenwood about his conduct, according to the Daily Mail, to try and set him on the right path.

The new England international issued a grovelling apology after the hippy crack video came to light.

In a statement, Greenwood said: “I strongly urge others not to follow my example.

“I have now been made aware of the health risks associated with this practice and accept that even trying it, as shown in these historical pictures, was poor judgement on my part.

“As an 18-year-old, I am learning all the time. However, this week I have also learned I will be judged to a higher standard because of my career as a footballer and I must respect that in future.

“I am determined to repay the faith shown in me by my manager and coaches.”

Greenwood also profusely apologised for his part in the Iceland scandal, insisting he would use the episode as a learning experience.

"I can only apologise for the embarrassment I have caused,” Greenwood said.

"In particular, I want to apologise to Gareth Southgate, for letting him down, when he had shown great trust in me."

"Playing for England was one of the proudest moments in my life and I only have myself to blame for this huge mistake.

"I promise my family, the fans, Manchester United and England that this is a lesson I will learn from."
