I didn't watch the game but saw the Greenwood miss and the moment Greenwood entered the box I for sure was thinking he'd square it to Rashy for a tap in but he didn't. You could see the frustration on Rashford's face the moment Greenwood decided to go for goal despite it being a tight angle.
In fact if you watch the moment Greenwood gets the ball (frame by frame) he's eyes is only on the goal and not on Rashford in acres of space to his left and the moment Greenwood wants to pull the trigger, Rashford has his arms up but Mason's eyes is only on the ball and nowhere else. So throughout that whole period Mason only had eyes on the ball and the goal. If he had more awareness we could have potentially been up 2-0.
One of Greenwood's problems is he often fails to see others in better scoring positions when In on goal. Remember another incident where Ronaldo looked livid for Greenwood not squaring it to him in almost the same position as Rashford was against Villa.
A pot and kettle situation surely when it comes to Rashford if we’re complaining about another player falling to pass to
him when in a better position.
Greenwood is 20 and has appeared in a fraction of games at senior level and started even less compared to Rashford. The fact to defend Rashford so many others have to be dragged down from current and previous managers to Ronaldo to Greenwood to lord knows who else, is telling.
He was played out of position
Just needs a rest
Ole ruined him
He never had a pre season
He’s playing injured
Ronaldo has stunted his development
He’s clearly struggling mentally
Still recovering from the surgery
Looks like he’s got a lot on his mind
Greenwood’s selfishness is the problem
…honestly why is it never: maybe Rashford isn’t that good?
