Neville’s Greenwood-Rashford comparison will leave you stunned
Yes, Mason Greenwood is surely a brilliant striker but Gary Neville has as usual taken it too far by comparing him with Marcus Rashford and concluding that Greenwood is better.
Neville had the following to say:
“I like Greenwood a lot. The composure that he shows at such a young age, his great physical presence.
“The way in which he finishes is that of a top centre-forward. Sometimes when you see a young player in front of goal, they panic a bit and snatch at things—(Daniel) James and (Jesse) Lingard do that quite a lot.
“But I’d say Greenwood is a better finisher than Rashford—and that’s saying something. He really does look the real deal. I think Solskjaer knows that and he’s going to bleed him in.”
“You saw it with 20 minutes to go against Everton, they needed someone in midfield who could pull the strings, someone up top who could lead the line and bring other players into play. That’s something that’s desperately missing at the moment.
“Solskjaer himself will want two or three quality players in as quickly as possible so these youngsters can demonstrate their real quality.”
