Four Manchester United players took part in England’s victory over South Korea in their opening game of the Arnold Clark Cup.
Mary Earps was between the Lionesses’ sticks although she had little to do to keep a clean sheet.
Ella Toone and Alessia Russo also started with Toone generating several chances for England throughout the game.
A perfectly weighted pass from Toone was played on Rachel Daly, but it was well blocked by South Korea.
Toone also tried to put her name on the board as she headed across the face of the goal, Katie Robinson followed, but her shot jarred the woodwork.
Alessia Russo along with former United striker Lauren James came close a couple of times in the first half as the Lionesses dominated possession.
Russo got her goal and England’s third of the night when Greenwood delivered a cross from the baseline to the front post where Russo had stepped past her defender and she finished it off perfectly into the back of the net.
Katie Zelem also got a chance to show off her skills when she replaced Jess Carter at halftime.
He came close to making the score sheet as well, but his shot was swept wide.
James got her first goal for her country when she fired in the fourth for the Lionesses and she also became player of the match.
At 80% possession, it was a truly dominant display from England, who are favorites to win the competition and are using this tournament as good practice for the World Cup later in the year.
The World Cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand between July 20 and August 20.
