Ryan Giggs has backed Mason Greenwood to shine this season after taking his iconic No. 11 shirt at Manchester United ahead of the new campaign.
Greenwood enjoyed a meteoric breakthrough in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last season, establishing himself in a formidable attacking trio alongside Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Ahead of the 2020/21 campaign, Greenwood has been issued the shirt that was famously worn by Giggs at United and it undoubtedly comes with added pressure - but the Wales boss is confident he can cope.
"He’s nearly already scored more goals than I did, so there’s no pressure in that respect. But no, I don’t think he’ll feel the pressure of the number," he told the Sun.
“He’s a brilliant player, who I don’t think he even looks like scoring every game — I think he’s going to score two every game, he’s that much of a threat.
“He’s been playing off the right — eventually, I think he will go as a centre-forward. But he needs to go again. Opposition will be aware of him and they’ll be trying to stop him.
“He’s got to find a way to keep improving, which I’m sure he will do because he’s very hard to stop — left or right foot, his movement’s good. And he’s in an attacking team with the likes of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes, who can find him.”
