“He scores good goals rather than a lot of goals” – Teddy Sheringham gives verdict on Man Utd star
Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has given his verdict on Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.
“I saw Denis Irwin in Dubai and I spoke to him about Greenwood,” Sheringham told 978bet.
“I said I thought that’s where Greenwood was going to be heading [playing at centre-forward]. He said to me ‘no he’s more of a number 10’. Again, he’s scored his goals throughout his United career, youth career, but Denis thinks he’s more of a number 10.
“I thought he was developing as a number nine and you know, United were planning on keeping him there for the long run, learning off Cavani. Denis sees it a little bit differently and he sees Greenwood more often than I do.
“He [Greenwood] definitely knows where the goal is. I love the way he finishes, very, very clever.
“Whether he gets in the six-yard box enough for a centre-forward, I don’t know. He scores good goals rather than a lot of goals more often than not, I think.
“If he’s going to learn, if he’s going to be a number nine, then he needs to get in the six-yard box a little bit more often.”
