Gary Neville outlines Mason Greenwood's advantage over Man Utd teammate Marcus Rashford

Gary Neville admits Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood is a better finisher than teammate Marcus Rashford.

Greenwood, 18, continued his excellent form by scoring the equaliser off the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Everton .

The teenager had scored twice against AZ Alkmaar three days earlier in the Europa League and now has seven goals in all competitions.

He sits second in United's scoring charts, behind only Marcus Rashford, but Neville believes he has the edge on his more experienced teammate.

"I like Greenwood a lot. The composure that he shows at such a young age, his great physical presence," Neville told Sky Sports.

"The way in which he finishes is that of a top centre-forward.

"Sometimes when you see a young player in front of goal, they panic a bit and snatch at things - [Daniel] James and [Jesse] Lingard do that quite a lot.

"But I'd say Greenwood is a better finisher than Rashford - and that's saying something. He really does look the real deal. I think Solskjaer knows that and he's going to bleed him in."

United sit sixth in the Premier League, four points off Chelsea in fourth.

The draw with Everton came on the back of wins over Tottenham and Manchester City and Neville concedes they still have work to do.

"United still need those transfer windows, they still need those players into the club," he added.

"We are still going to see inconsistency. There just isn't that quality, experience, patience; how to navigate a team that plays compact and is soaking up the pressure.

"Solskjaer himself will want two or three quality players in as quickly as possible so these youngsters can demonstrate their real quality."
