I'm not saying he doesn't seem to be the better talent. I'm just saying that people are keeping their expectations of Greenwood lower than they are of Rashford. Forget about how old each player is. When you compare them head to head, Rashford has been the better player. Do I think Greenwood will become better? Yes I do. Bottom line is, I'm very happy that both players play for the team I support and with Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho, I think we have a front 3 that will be terrorizing defenders across Europe for years to come...
I think your point is fair and I am happy we have both plus Sancho as they have immense potential not just as individuals but also as a cohesive unit.
The way I see it if you compare Rashford today (23) with Greenwood today (19), Rashford can give you higher highs. He’s capable of destroying a team on his day, scoring big goals and generally being a terror for defenders. Mason on his best day doesn’t quite bring as much overall fear factor at the moment. However, at their comparative worst level, Greenwood is far better on his bottom level than Rashford even now. Greenwood can have quiet games but his passing, hold up and general play usually remains at a higher level because of his superior technical ability, he’s also such a fantastic finisher than even in quiet games you want to leave him on. Rashford at his worst is a downright detriment to the side, poor decisions, poor technique and just generally very sloppy.
Overall that’s a long (off topic) post to say that even in direct comparison now I think I’d still favour the consistency of Mason over the unpredictability of Rashford. As you say though we can enjoy both and what they both bring.
Not sure if this intentional pun.
