I would rather it be on the left then. I think that he provides more than Marcus does, and giving Rashford more competition on his side would give him the kick up the arse (you would hope).

Silver lining when we fail to sign Sancho. Greenwood will get more minutes and score more then last season.
Coming in off that right hand side and attacking the box, Greenwood is surely something. Not sure there's anyone in the league who's significantly better than him at it besides Salah. The drop off between having him there and any other is horrifying.
I think he’s an inch or two shorter than Rashford, but he is still growing.
He's so good.
He's deceptively quick too.

Well for one Sancho is a rare winger than plays both equally well so he would cover both. Most wingers can't do that.

I think we will see a lot more of his speed as he develops.

Sancho's numbers are impressive. But there is just something about Greenwood for me. I think he is just so well balanced technically on the ball, add the finishing to that and he just seems lethal every time he darts into space in the final third.
He does not look 6' 2". Are you sure?
Yeah but then we'd only have 3 attackers we can play because Igalho and James are not close to good enough
Kid is so special. Love his hunger for goals, but without being selfish.
He can, but were he to sign, who is the player most likely to have restricted game time? The likely player would be Mason. I can't imagine there would be a huge amount of rotation, but then again I'm not Ole so can't say 100% that this will be the case.
Point being, he did very well on the right last season, so hopefully he can continue being a regular and reach 20 goals this season
Agreed. A phenomenon.
Him coming on vs.tired legs will always be a treat...
In a perfect Sancho world he'd be doing this a lot more (as would Rashy)

He's brilliant, I just worry we'll burn him out considering we have nobody who can even play on the right at a premier league level apart from him (and he's not naturally a right winger). We need a good depth player just to help and protect Greenwood, rashford, martial and keep them fresh without dropping much in quality.
Glad he got his 1st goal right away though, hopefully right into the starting 11 on the weekend and keeping it up.

I don't want this guy to be benched, he is top top talent better than the one other club is asking 120 million. We do need a another 2 attacker to provide genuine competition for front 3. James and Ighalo doesn't look like they will be able to do so.
Going to have a great season. I think it was Fernandes (?) who should have played it out the the right a few minutes earlier. He could have had one then as well.
Greenwood is top class and I think will be better than Sancho as a goalscorer but to say he is better now just because he is our player is a bit petty.
Either way the point is moot as Sancho is better than Rashford so he could replace him.
Really we need them all though. There is plenty of gametine for 4 attacking options.

I reckon there would be quite a lot of rotation...
Rashford Martial Sancho
Sancho Martial Greenwood
Rashford Greenwood Sancho
Rashford Martial Greenwood
these four would be deemed 1st team rotations
obviously excluding minutes/rotations for back up players Ighalo, James
Lima or Cristiano?
Excellent 10 minutes today, brilliant signature goal and a very good assist to Rashford.
His build-up play is showing more and more as well.
He's brilliant but what kind of lunatic gave him that much time and space in the box 
Rash decision could equal another penalty for United and Mourinho raging.He's brilliant but what kind of lunatic gave him that much time and space in the box
Very good player both sides, special even. I get the comments about Sancho replacing him, not gonna happen. Greenwood has the ability to push anyone of that front three out. His only challenge and perhaps one for Ole is keep him on the straight and narrow. He could be a superstar but needs man management without doubt. So far Ole has protected him.
From everything I have read online. Greenwood is 5ft 11.
I have no idea where hes getting 6ft 2 from.
He is decipetively quick. Love it.
Beastly little bit of hold up play for the goal.
I really would favour just getting a good right winger for 20/30m instead of Sancho and keeping Mason as the definite first choice.
He might be right you know. If you watch the highlights he looks like he is roughly as tall as AWB. Certainly looks 6 ft or more now. Still filling out.
Been thinking this for a while. As soon as we knew we weren't going to pony up for Sancho we should've targeted a back up and put all our eggs in the Greenwood basket.
SARR ?
Maybe, but if we're talking back up though I'd prefer someone a bit more experienced who's like 25 to 28, as opposed to young and raw. No idea who that is though, that's the scouts job.
Greenwood is a killer. All we need to do is get the ball to him in space around the box.
Looks stronger and faster. But hasn't had a preseason so I might just be making that up in my head. He's absolutely lethal and needs to be a starter in this team, regardless of who is brought in.
was fast and slick. Could have scored before he did, but Bruno messed up the pass by sending it to Rashford instead.
Greenwood would be an amazing sub to bring on against tiring legs, if only we had Sancho.

This has been my thinking for sometime now.
Sancho has played 101 games for BVB and he's still only 20. Why cant we put the same faith in a player such as Greenwood ?
Sancho can play down the right or down the left with exactly the same efficiency. So, it’s not like he will always start ahead of Greenwood - sometimes he will start ahead of Rashford on the left, and sometimes he will not start at all for rotation needs
I'm on board with this, Sarr would be a decent pick up.
I love watching him dribble into the box doing step overs, his finishing is spot on but his ability to make space goes under the radar.
