'Marcus Rashford Is Holding Mason Greenwood Back'

'Marcus Rashford Is Holding Mason Greenwood Back'

A former Manchester United star has claimed that Marcus Rashford is holding back Mason Greenwood, saying the latter needs to be given a run in the team.

The 20-year-old striker enjoyed a good start to the season, scoring four goals in his first three Premier League appearances for the Red Devils.

However, Rashford's return from injury has seen Greenwood drop to the bench in the past couple of months, and there have been reports that Arsenal are keen on his services.

"He (Rashford) is holding back Mason Greenwood," former United defender Paul Parker told bettingexpert.

"I think Greenwood needs a run in that team. He's a young boy, and there are stories about him leaving. That might be drummed up by his agent.

"I still believe that when you have good young players, they need to play. Because otherwise they will lose their confidence.

"They will look at what they have been doing, they will be looking at what people are doing in front of them and ask themselves questions.

"When they start doing that, it's negative and they'll end up going backwards. You have to be careful of that with Greenwood."
