Dewsnip full of praise for Man Utd whiz Greenwood

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood is being for tipped for big things with England U21s.

Neil Dewsnip was Greenwood's coach with the England U18 squad last year and he sees him as someone with the mentality and talent to succeed.

"He's highly motivated to be the best that he can possibly be which is always a massive strength in a young player," Dewsnip tells Sky Sports.

"In the England U18 team he played as an out-and-out centre-forward right down the middle and did quite well in that role but we also used him in wide areas as well, particularly on the right side of the field where he can cut in on his left foot and belt it quite nicely.

"He has definitely got an eye for goal, so I would agree with his manager that he can score a variety of goals. He is quite fast, direct and can get in behind defences. He's also clever enough to combine with his team-mates. So he's got an interesting package developing."
