Greenwood needs to "feel the pressure"
He's 17 and wasn't even playing reserve football until towards the end of last season.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
He'll learn nothing from bullying kids at U23 level. He'll be getting more than the odd 10 minutes as the season progresses.
He just needs to start as a #9 instead of injured Martial. We will be able to see how he performs for entire 90 minutes - it is quite likely that he manages to score.
That's how it should be isn't it, as long as the player is in the squad, it's no use to feed the press about transfers.
The debate can run and run whether Sanchez should have went or not. But Oles comments around it I think are very concerning. Makes me wonder if he even knows what his plan is.....
It was all Rashford needed
I doubt it, but feck me I hope not.Won’t we just go with Rashford up top and pack the midfield with our goal scoring threat from there?
Maybe, Ole seems like he might give him a bit of faith. Not sure he should, but ole’s fault if he stinks the place up again.
I agree what he says they need to feel the pressure but too much emphasis is being put on Greenwood. He says we have loads of options. You having a laugh mate
He was clearly talking abour Rashford and Martial
In what world are they concerning. We were trying to get rid of a player. If Ole starts bleeding on about how we need to get rid of him last week I would bet Inter would have stood firm on who pays the bulk share of Sanchez wages
It's worrying for you that your back up option for Striker is your starting winger. If both of them are out it's going to look bad. Remember the period last year when 3 or 4 of your starters were injured at the same time and he tried to rush back Lingard?
Would be very interesting how he would fair up against someone like Vestergaard and Stephens, who will use their physicality to try and unsettle him.
I took it to mean that our youngsters are ready to take on the responsibility and feel the pressure of first team football, and having some expectations placed upon them.
Another weak press conference. Conflicting messages, putting crazy amount of pressure on a 17 year old, and ruling out signing a 38 year old who bangs in goals for fun. And having the audacity to turn up for the presser in a Range Rover and wearing sunglasses after that disgraceful loss vs Palace. Who does he think he is?
Yes I hate how he just struts around the place like he owns it.
he never said whom he's going to play for though.
I can't tell if you're joking cause if you're not I worry about you.
He definitely should have opted for the Volvo today.
Ole's wife, on seeing him leave the house the day after the Palace game: "Where are you off to?"
Ole: "Just heading down to the Toyota dealership to pick up a '91 Corolla for my next press conference"
Handled that brilliantly didn't he. Got Sanchez out the door with minimal fuss.
What is wrong with a Range Rover? He must drive an English car - perhaps he would have opted for a Mercedes or a BMW otherwise
For all the talk about Smalling leaving, in terms of it being a potential mistake, Ole seems to know what his plan is in terms of a pecking order. His answer to the first question seemed to be pretty concise and sensible, and even taking into account media training he seemed pretty relaxed about it.
Martial is a big loss but I'm really not convinced Shaw really adds much in defense or attack, sadly.
There wasn't a noticeable weakening of the team when he went off against Palace, was there?
Young actually offered more in attack when he came on.
I suppose while a player is with us, it makes sense to say the right things.
If we'd said "yeah he's pure drivel, and we want him out asap", that'd do nothing but kill morale, and make shifting him even tougher.
Taste of your own medicine
Well what do you expect him to do? If we’d kept Sanchez and Ole had slated him and said he needed to go then where does he go from there?
His transfer value was already as low as it gets ... just smart from Ole to talk him up.
We all get that it just makes Ole look a little foolish after the event not to mention you can stay positive about a player without saying he'll play more than you think only for the next week to say he needed to go
Only looks foolish if you're naive as feck.
Greenwood has barely featured beyond a few late-game sub appearances, to be fair.
He's bound to start tomorrow with Martial unavailable.
Why do some hang on every thing Ole says?
He’s smarter at dealing with personalities than Mourinho.
Yup, the EL will start soon and then we will play twice a week.
Yeah, I prefer the diplomatic approach. Also, if he publicly hangs players out to dry, others would question his trustworthiness and loyalty.
I’d pay a reporter to ask this.
“Obviously you’ve aware of Jesse Lingards stats , are you concerned about the fact he hasn’t had a goal or assist in almost 10 months ?”
