So let’s get this right. Mason Greenwood had a “problem” that prevented him from going to Paris.
This injury was so severe that it came in and out of the cones the morning the rest of the Manchester United team flew in to face Paris Saint-Germain.

But wait. That Tuesday night problem turned into a disease as of yesterday when manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer briefed us on his forward.
Furthermore, despite being late for training on at least two occasions recently, the 19-year-old nevertheless is never late for training and there is no problem with his timing.
As for his questionable attitude towards Carrington lately, there is no problem with his attitude.
And he thought Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s update on the coronavirus was difficult to follow.
Here’s what Solskjaer said on Tuesday: “I can’t declare medical stuff, can I?
“He’s just a nuisance, and despite how young he is, we don’t want to take chances with him. Hopefully the weekend will be okay again.”
And yesterday, before the clash at home on Saturday with Chelsea: “I hope he has recovered from his illness and is ready for this weekend.”
Regarding his timing, Solskjaer added: “I have to disappoint you, he is never late for training, he is never a problem in training field.
“I’ve seen the stories, I’ve seen former United players talking about him and they don’t really know what they’re talking about.
“We have photographers out of training camp every day, so they can see every day that he’s on time.”
Those same photographers will also tell you that you are the last one practically every time.
As for those former Old Trafford stars looking for something?
After a long internet scrolling, the best to come up with is Dimitar Berbatov speaking up after the United forward’s indiscretions in England.
The Bulgarian said: “I hope his antics with England do not hamper his chances. We have all been young players and we have done stupid things. Gee, take that.
What’s undeniable is that Greenwood was kicked out of England’s camp last month after he and Phil Foden invited two girls to the team’s hotel after the Three Lions game in Iceland.
Solskjaer said: “I think Mason learned a hard lesson this summer, of course.
“It is the reality that when you do well at Manchester United, you will be in the spotlight, good or bad.”
“Yes, he made a mistake with England and suddenly all the English press were after him and that is something we have to take care of.”
Perhaps if I hadn’t ‘gone after’ Miss Universe finalist Nadia Gunnarsdottir in the first place, defying strict Covid protocol and team orders, there would have been no problem.

A later story about him inhaling laughing gas was, according to the club, a classic example of a player who was deliberately built to get knocked down.
In Solskjaer’s own words, “I have to disappoint you”, but this is an absolute myth.
Greenwood has been praised in these pages particularly for his incredible ability with his two feet on a soccer field.
That doesn’t mean, at the same time, that he gets rid of negative comments when he’s wrong, which he seems to be doing off the field and on it lately with his poor performances.
Still, Solskjaer has faith that he will be able to put all of this behind him and is puzzled by recent stories.
He said, “I am not at all concerned that Mason becomes a target.
“I don’t know where these stories come from.
“He has a good family behind him, he has had a good training in the academy and he is a good coach.”
“Mason trains really well and I can’t believe all these stories about him not being a professional.”
Indeed, a good showing against Chelsea at Old Trafford this weekend and Greenwood will be back to normal.
That is, if you have recovered from your problem, sorry, illness. And if it arrives on time, which, of course, it always does.
