Mason Greenwood’s Character Reminds Dimitar Berbatov of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Figure

DBasia.news – Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov gave high praise to Mason Greenwood. The 18-year-old player reminded him of Cristiano Ronaldo’s figure.

Greenwood did look stunning when Manchester United conquered Brighton & Hove Albion with a score of 3-0, Thursday (2/7). He scored one goal and one assist.

“Greenwood against Brighton (played) like Ronaldo. His left foot can’t be trusted along with his vision,” Berbatov said.

Greenwood is slowly able to penetrate the core squad in Ole Gunnar SSolskjaer’s team. Even though the 2019-2020 season is his full debut with the Manchester United first team despite being given the opportunity to appear since last season.

Berbatov, who was once Ronaldo’s teammate, is certainly very aware of the Portuguese star player’s ability. He certainly has his own reasons to compare him with Greenwood.

The Bulgarian national team player called Greenwood has the ability to be a differentiator. Though Ronaldo could not immediately carry out that role in his inaugural season at Old Trafford.

“I don’t think it takes a lot of players to take United to the next level. They need players who are really classy to make a difference,” he added.

When comparing the performance of the two players in their debut season at Manchester United, Berbatov’s comments are not excessive. Greenwood even has better statistics than Ronaldo.

This season Greenwood has appeared in 40 matches and scored 13 goals and five assists. While in the 2003-2004 season which was Ronaldo’s debut season in Manchester United, CR7 only scored six goals and nine assists from 40 matches.

Now it is the task of Solskjaer and other Manchester United coaching staff to look after Greenwood. Do not let him wither before developing as happened to some of their former wonderkids before.
