Guess he will have games like that but around the box he knows where the goal is. I suspect that’s what he was kept on because he is very capable of something sweet like that strike.I thought he looked off the pace for much of the game, but what a strike!
Greenwood could be the long term solution, I'd rather he was getting minutes as a striker when Cavani needs a rest rather than shoehorning Greenwood into the right wing tbh.this is a position we need to find a long term solution for.
That could be the answer potentially, he is just so frustrating to watch at times, and his lack of enthusiasm/determination is something that I dont think you can teach.I think it's time to move Martial on.
Agreed, Greenwood needs experience through the middle, he can get that at the club though, cup games and final 20 of league games etc. Although Rashford is a cracking player who developed well year on year, imo we botched his development as an outright striker, when he burst on the scene he was a natural #9 didn't drift too wide and always found space in the box. Successive managers put him on the wing due to his pace and that's now his best position. When Ole gave him a run as central striker it didn't work out I believe those formative years on the wing removed his striker instincts. I want to see Greenwood stick to being the goalscoring centre forward he naturally is.Greenwood is at a tricky cross roads where he maybe needs a bit of time out on loan somewhere in a slightly easier league just to brush up on a few bits of his game. I think he'll struggle to make it as a centre forward unless he has a bit of a growth spurt the way the game is now to be a centre forward you've got to be able to handle the physical game on your own.
Cavani is a great guy for someone like Greenwood to learn things from to become the all round centre forward.

Definitely, they need to be looking now, or getting Greenwood ready. I'd send Martial packing this summer. Send a message to the rest, you put the effor in or you're gone.To me it's a no brainer right now that we keep him 1 more year send Martial packing and buy another striker.

I can't see us getting near Haaland which is a shame, with enough money, Kane could be an option.
Yeah have been thinking that many times this season, he would also be a very Fergie type signing. Someone who is doing well for another PL club and willing to take a chance on him making the step up. Similar to Saha, Carrick, Smith etc.The one I think we need to keep an eye on from the PL is Calvert-Lewin that lads got something this is a big breakthrough season for him if he can perform like this again next season he might be worth the gamble as the next big thing.

Haaland will be very gettable and I can see us being the one he chooses eventually. Just a feeling y’know.
