Manchester United have had more than they bargained for with Mason Greenwood's latest successes.
Greenwood is transforming the scenery at Manchester United after scoring his third goal in as many games and assisting Edinson Cavani in the 18 minutes of regular time he was on the field against Tottenham Hotspur.
DON'T MISS:
The conversation around him is shifting as well.
The controversy about ‘second season syndrome' has died out, replaced by discussions about Greenwood's problems earlier in the season, much of which stemmed from a naive violation of covid-19 guidelines while on England duty.
United's concern about his growth is gone, as is his streak of one goal in 26 games during a barren winter.
It's difficult to picture Greenwood, with his apparent talent in front of goal, going through a goal slump in the next decade of his career.
DON'T MISS:
Gary Neville had it right when he remarked about Greenwood's finishing and how just Tottenham's own Harry Kane beats the 19-year-old when bearing down on target in United's 3-1 win over Tottenham.
"I do believe he's at a different level [now] — his calm and delivery in the final third," said Neville, who named Greenwood to his potential England squad for the European Championship earlier this week.
“I do believe that if Harry Kane is wounded, I would look at the England center-forward spot and wonder, ‘Who has his composure?'
I believe he will play center-forward for his country.”
