He seems so natural on the right that I almost forget he’s a striker by trade. It really helps with the shape of the team to have a left footed right wing player.
Yep, he's so much better equipped than either Martial or Rashford for that right wing, and now that they're making their respective positions their own, it's only natural that Greenwood makes the right wing his own. Mata can be serviceable there, but the big fish is obviously Sancho who would bring this to a whole new level. It would give Greenwood a back up role as both CF and RW, so he'd still get plenty of minutes and then depending on how Martial pans out, he could be the replacement up front.He seems so natural on the right that I almost forget he’s a striker by trade.

Mason isn't left footed. He is both footed.He seems so natural on the right that I almost forget he’s a striker by trade. It really helps with the shape of the team to have a left footed right wing player.
I tend to agree with this. Much better at protecting the ball and getting rid of the players pressing him with simple body feints. Needs some muscle and improving his movement and linkup play in the final third and he will be our best forward at the club.Didn't get a goal or assist but in terms of general play, that's his best performance for the first team. Seemed to really show how well rounded he is. For me him at RW right now is a no brainer.
How often have we seen United create chances from the right hand side of midfield? Hardly.I would prefer Greenwood start instead of James every game.
First thing I thought when I read your comment was, "He's the opposite of Tahith Chong."So much natural talent, doesn't make the usual young player brainfart errors, he's going to become top class for us.
I agree. At the moment he certainly brings more to the table than James.Thought he played really well yesterday and he has to be starting ahead of James.
In fairness he's the opposite of a bulk of young players and some that aren't that young anymore when it comes to his awareness of his teammates and making the right choices, reminds me a bit of Sancho in that way, I think part of it comes down to being young attackers that aren't blessed with electric pace, they are both quick but not jet heeled, so they can't fall back on that, they have to think and play smarter which has benefitted them IMO.First thing I thought when I read your comment was, "He's the opposite of Tahith Chong."
He has put on 3 kgs of muscle mass during the lockdown, as per The AthleticIs it just me? I feel he has grow stronger.
Physically looks the part now.He's gotten so much stronger. I love the turns he does under pressure.
Indeed. He is selfish, but believes and backs himself. He will learn you feel.Annoyingly selfish, but I like him.
At least he attempted to test the keeper instead of the attempts by other players trying to pass it into the netAnnoyingly selfish, but I like him.
He doesn't have the physicality to lead the line at this stage of his career. Rashford struggles there too and is far more developed physically.I am bit concerned about his development. He needs to decide, demand and play his specialized position. He is definitely not RW, nor he is proper right forward. He doesn't have enough pace to outpace modern fullbacks, he can't cut in, he can't cross and create. If he is thinks he should develop himself on the right then he could be looking at stagnant career. Whenever I watch him his movements seem natural and dynamic in the center, but on the right he seems unidimensional.
Getting so many minutes at his age is only helping his development. Not hurting it. He’s learning a lot from playing as a right inside forward. Often switching flanks. But of a daft post tbh.I am bit concerned about his development. He needs to decide, demand and play his specialized position. He is definitely not RW, nor he is proper right forward.

Greenwood will still have LOADS of matches - we may have well over 60 matches per season.It’s a shame Sancho will take his spot
Sancho will take James' spot, Greenwood will then compete with James for the back up spot. Lingard should be sold.He is so, so, so fecking good. Still 18 and hasn’t even started developing his footballing brain. It’s a shame Sancho will take his spot
What a load of rubbish. He's scored 3/4 goals this season by cutting in. His first goal for the club against Astana he cut in and scored with his rightI am bit concerned about his development.

No they wouldn't. He has 5 goals in the premier league and no one is spending 100m on a forward with 5 league goals in any country.He seems to be a bit underrated right now. For his age, playing in the PL and having as many goals as he does is simply incredible. Imagine if one of those highly rated Real Madrid youngsters put up the numbers he has this season. People would go nuts for them already and they would be valued at 100m easily.. if they aren't already. This boy is outperforming everyone except Haaland and Sancho who are both a year older. We'll see at this time next year though how close he is to what they have been doing this season. He'll be right up there, imo.
Would be a great option to have on the bench, hopefully next season Ole can look at the bench and can bring on Ighalo, Greenwood & Grealish each can bring something different, if we’re creating chances but not taking them being Greenwood on, not creating chances Grealish comes on, or if we’re leading then Ighalo comes on.He is so, so, so fecking good.
