Rangnick: 'Greenwood still needs to develop physically'

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick says that Mason Greenwood still needs to "develop physically" to fully realise his potential.

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has said that Mason Greenwood still needs to "develop physically" to become a regular starter for the Red Devils.

Greenwood scored his fifth goal of the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday, finding the back of the net with an acrobatic volley in the 1-1 draw with Young Boys in the Champions League.

The 20-year-old has only featured in one of Man United's last four league games, though, coming off the bench to play the final 28 minutes against Crystal Palace last weekend.

Rangnick has said that Greenwood is "a massive talent", but the German has insisted that the Englishman still needs to "develop physically" in order to become a leading player for the club.

"He [Mason] showed, not only with the beautiful goal, also the way that he set up an opportunity for Juan Mata, that he is a massive talent. That was brilliant," Rangnick told reporters.

"Right foot, left foot, good on the ball, also the way he set up the goal for Fred on Sunday. But still it is about continuity. He has to develop physically. Technically, for his age, he is a great player and my job is to develop him and make an athlete out of him and, if he manages to do that, he can become a regular player for this club."

Greenwood has scored 34 goals and registered 12 assists in 121 appearances for Man United in all competitions.
