If Coming to Man United, Jadon Sancho Is Predicted to Hinder Greenwood
By db-admin
DBasia.news – The arrival of Jadon Sancho will make Manchester United’s front line even more dangerous. But his presence is also predicted to hinder Mason Greenwood’s career development.
Sancho will most likely immediately grab the main place in the Manchester United squad. The 21-year-old will most likely play on the right wing position.
This position is considered a weak point in Manchester United’s attacking pattern. The manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer even had to try several names to play there and the results were not satisfactory.
Interestingly, Greenwood is also often played as a right wing. Although his original position is center forward.
The presence of Sancho will certainly make Greenwood thrown onto the bench. That’s because the center forward post almost certainly belongs to Edinson Cavani.
Seeing this situation, Solskjaer asked Greenwood not to panic. He is even a little nostalgic for a moment when he was still a player.
As is known, Manchester United brought Solskjaer from Molde in the summer of 1996. But at almost the same time, the Red Devils also planned to bring in Alan Shearer.
The news in fact did not make Solskjaer panic or fear. He was even more motivated to fight for the main place.
I’ve never been the type to worry about other people, and what they’re doing. Alan Shearer is one of the best strikers to have ever played in England but I will take up the challenge,” said Solskjaer.
“If he had been brought in, I would have easily signed a contract as well. I feel confident I can make an impact because I am very confident in my own ability as a goalscorer.”
In the end, Manchester United failed to sign Shearer. But Solskjaer still faces fierce competition up front with Andy Cole, Eric Cantona and Dwight Yorke, and Teddy Sheringham coming after him.
It’s this mentality that Solskjaer wants Greenwood to have. He certainly will not close his eyes if the Manchester United academy product is able to take advantage of every opportunity to the fullest.
