Man Utd ace Fernandes: Greenwood learning about being marked man

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes says Mason Greenwood is learning how to cope with being a marked man.

Greenwood headed home the winner against Brighton on Sunday.

“Everyone has to know that Mason is a young player and now everyone is starting to know how Mason is, it will become more and more difficult for him," Fernandes told MUTV after the win.

"It is normal. It is part of the development for him and he will learn from here so it doesn't matter how many goals he scores; the most important thing for us is that he still helps the team and he is doing his best.

“It is important for us as a team, it doesn't matter who scores. If Mason scores for us or not, it is important if he can do other jobs, recover balls, pressing, defend when we need it, make assists, create danger.

“So it is not important for him to score. He has to understand, he is such a young lad. Of course, every striker wants to score but, anyway, he will score more and more goals as the seasons pass."
