Gary Neville insisted the emergence of Mason Greenwood should not deter Manchester United from signing another forward player.
MEN Sport understands the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho is a top target for United this summer, despite the expected financial implications of the coronavirus on the transfer market.
Greenwood has been in sensational form since the season restarted, scoring four goals and registering an assist in his last three matches.
However, Neville said competition for places among top-class players is vital, and believes United can accommodate both Greenwood as well as another right-sided attacker in the same team.
"He (Greenwood) will play, I think he can play centre-forward, I think he can play left-wing, I think he can play right-wing," Neville told Sky Sports. "To me, not signing a right-winger thinking he would be out of the team is not the right way to look at it.
"Manchester United have always signed great players to challenge other great players in positions. Manchester United had four centre-forwards in 1999.
"Sir Alex Ferguson signed Dwight Yorke having already had Andy Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham at the club. It didn't stop him signing Dwight Yorke.
"You don't just say 'where will he play?'. Great players will challenge each other, they'll improve, they will find a way to get into the team.
"They won't feel belittled by it or challenged to the point where they sulk, they will step up to the task and they will go for it.
"I'm sure that's what Mason Greenwood will do. He's still young but so exciting it's untrue. I love watching him."
