I have been very excited about Rashford lately, and now evenly excited about Mason. We have a lot of talent- hope they keep progressing and we add some quality also.

According to Twitter he’s scored as many goals from open play as Messi this season. 
The way he plays means he probably wont fully flourish until he has matured both physically and mentally. Doesn't have that burst of explosive speed that young players usually rely on but has all the tools to become world class one day.
Another great performance, be fantastic if he can reach double digits for the season. On 6 so far I think?

James has been great but I really want to see the Rashford + Martial + Greenwood front 3 starting moreQuality. It won't take him long to really push being a regular starter here.
Great stuff! Why should we splash the cash on yet another young striker in Haaland, when we have Rashford, Martail and this guy already?
4-4-2 all 4 starting with Fretominay behind.
He's scored more goals than Nicolas Pépé.
Inevitable injuries and dips in form, basically same cycle repeated from few good seasons, which can be easily avoided by boosting depth with a striker who can offer something different on top of goals galore.
I think all 4 have been on the pitch together, when United have been chasing games (e.g. Sheffield) and they go to a 442 type formation.
His finishing is like clunge soaked in IPA.
Man is like if Henry and RVP merged into the form of someone from a mid-90s Nickelodeon sitcom.
I want to be excited, but I’m wary... but I’m still also absolutely, thoroughly over-excited!

I think he’s worth a shot playing off Martial as a number 10
Superb game. 2 goals and won penalty.
2 very good goals.

And people keep crying about Haaland(who is only about a year older) to come in as striker reinforcement. We have to worry about developing the our own kid rather than paying money to bring in another kid so he can develop here.
Unless someone over rate Haaland(like most posters in that thread) he isn't some sort of generational talent that we should seek after at all cost, especially when we have our own ridiculously talented player(more talented than Haaland by the way) waiting on the wing and developing nicely.

So hard to read him because he can go either way and has such clean technique that it seems to take the keeper by surprise when he just fizzes a shot in, great talent.
I didn't know you could only have one promising talent per team. Their styles are different, their position is different. Having both is fine.
Such a good finisher.
AZ Alkmaar are a decent defensive side, which makes this performance all the more impressive. They've only conceded 8 goals in the Eredivisie this season.

No its not. They're both around the same age and it wouldn't work out without hampering the development of one. Remember there is already Martial as first choice striker who himself is young, you then can't have 2 promising talent as backup if you want to develop them.
You simply can't have it both ways, it's doesn't work like that. You put in 2 very young strikers competing to break through and they'll be impeded.
The way he plays and strikes the ball is just like watching RVP.
Really got something about him, doesn’t he?
Can you imagine Greenwood playing in Germany week in week out right now? He'd easily be as hyped as Haaland and Sancho
Very good game from him. Second half he was just deadly after our first goal. A nice pass for Martial as well who should have scored. I liked us having all 4 attackers on the pitch against Sheffield. Hopefully we can see that in the future even if Lingard and Mata seem to have improved recently to.
That 2nd goal he scored is a nightmare to defenders and keepers. He’s shaped his body up like that before and cut inside and slammed it in with his right foot.
The ease which he can do either or is mind boggling. It’s a talent equivalent to Messi’s god given dribbling talent.
They’re raising the kid right.
There was a game a few games back where he came on with a massive hickey on his neck and looked absolutely drained. Half assed everything and Ole publicly told him ‘he knows what he has to do in the men’s league’ after dropping him from there on. Keep it going Ole.

So having 5 players for 3 positions is an issue?
Course you can. Haaland will play down the middle, Greenwood from wide. They aren't stepping on each others toes. We are woefully short of numbers up top. Not bringing in a prolific, young striker for a modest fee because he might affect the development of a player who will primarily be used in a different position is nonsensical.
Very good finishing by Greenwood. His hold up play seems to have improved by quite a bit. Can't wait for him to become a regular.
My favorite part of his game besides the lack of weak foot is how quickly he processes things for someone so young. Him, Martial, and Garner at times looked like the only ones that first half who were comfortable under the pressure AZ was giving us with the press. Would be interesting to see him in that 10 role instead of Lingard since it's not like we would be losing any sort of real passing ability there, and Greenwood likes to roam and get on the ball anyways.
Great performance. If Martial doesn’t stay fit I’d be happy with Greenwood getting a run through the middle.
He's deadly! Two great finishes and won the penalty. Very good game from him.
He’s going to be some player.
His finishing is so good, just crisp. Kid looks special, hope to see much more of him.
Very well summarised.
He has already found a way to get that extra space to get a shot off though which is obviously key.
What are you talking about. They're both strikers and that's where they should develop ideally.
Greenwood playing from the left is just a part of his development process but ultimately his main position is as a striker.
Haaland nor Greenwood won't be playing down the middle and from the left respectively because Martial and Rashford play in those areas. Greenwood right now as a young striker get game times through the left but he's first choice backup after Martial in that striker role when team rotate.
A scenario where there is Haaland and Greenwood and both come out of it alright having developed into top players isn't possible. All 3 front positions are already covered and Greenwood is the young striker already. Bringing in another young striker of similar age just doesn't make sense nor would help one of them.
Better than Martial for me.
Excellent finishing, more assured than before as well imo. He’s a sure thing, just a matter of more or less time. His technique is also excellent and will shine through as he becomes more confident. So happy for him!
Also, why even bring up a striker from a different team, we may or may not be after, on a night like this? Weirdo.
Front four of Rashford, Martial/Haaland, Greenwood, James/Sancho would work against the bottom-half teams.
I think Ole should consider starting him on the right vs Everton.

I think if Haaland ended up at Dortmund, we should sign a veteran striker. A backup for Greenwood.
Sure hope you are only talking about tonight...
