​Southgate & Solskjaer talks puts Man Utd striker Greenwood in England doubt

Manchester United star Mason Greenwood may have to wait for some time before his next senior England call-up.

The centre-forward has began the season in red hot form with his club, but was not selected by Gareth Southgate for the Three Lions during the international break.

According to the Daily Mail, Southgate met Greenwood's club manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for talks about Greenwood last month.

Such an agreement may suggest Greenwood will be away from international football for the coming months.

"He (Greenwood) is a player we really like and he's got every possibility to be a top England player. We're all conscious we make that progression at the right time," said Southgate recently.

"We decided it's best he stays with his club. We're all aligned with that — Mason, the club and his family."
