Edinson Cavani
Mason Greenwood admits he has been watching Edinson Cavani closely in Manchester United training and believes he’s benefitting from working with the veteran striker. United completed a deadline day swoop for former Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani in the summer, signing him on a free transfer to boost Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attacking options. The 33-year-old has already scored vital goals for United against Southampton and according to Greenwood — 14 years his junior — the Uruguayan is helping behind the scenes too.
Mason Greenwood said “Anyone can learn from him, whether it is a young player or an older player, He has just come here and set an example, really. I like the things he does so I obviously pick up on the little things he does. I watch him in training and always have an eye on him, to see what movements he does, so I can add it to my game. So it is a big benefit that he is here at the club I think. You can see the two goals he scored against Southampton were just unbelievable. It was stuff he has been doing for 10 to 15 years at PSG and at Napoli as well, so he is a good footballer. It is all about improvement, You have always got to come up with new things because teams will start watching you, like we do with video analysis and stuff like that, so you have always got to have a few tricks up your sleeve. I am aware of it and I know quite a bit of history at United, I know the important games against Leeds, there has always been a big rivalry down at Elland Road and obviously at Old Trafford, so it will be a good game at the weekend. I obviously played against them when I was a young kid in the Under-13s, 14s, 15s and 16s. Before going into the game, you always knew it was a rivalry like Liverpool and City is. So it is good to see them back in the Premier League so we can have a game like this, because it is good to have rivals.”
