Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has urged management not to place too great expectations on Mason Greenwood.

Saha admits he is wary academy graduate Greenwood has been thrown in too soon, because he is lacking senior mentors in the squad to help work on his skillset.

“Maybe he has arrived six months or one year early and that's not fair for him," he said in an interview with GQ magazine.

"He can't be the only threat for [Anthony] Martial and [Marcus] Rashford at a big club like United.

"I had to compete with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy, Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Wayne Rooney.

“Greenwood is learning from two youngsters rather than two experienced players."
