Manchester United legend Paul Parker believes Mason Greenwood is being held back at the club.

Parker believes Greenwood is the most talented and promising of United's contingent of young attackers.

He believes that fellow England star Marcus Rashford, who has been in indifferent form this season, may be holding back Greenwood from reaching his full potential.

"He's (Rashford) holding back Mason Greenwood," Parker told bettingexpert.

"I think Greenwood needs a run in that team. He's a young boy, and there are stories about him leaving. That might be drummed up by his agent.

"I still believe that when you have good young players, they need to play. Because otherwise they will lose their confidence.

"They will look at what they have been doing, they will be looking at what people are doing in front of them and ask themselves questions. When they start doing that, it's negative and they'll end up going backwards.

"You have to be careful of that with Greenwood. He needs not just to be coming on, he needs to start games and he needs someone to believe in him and play him regularly until the manager can see a bit of fatigue."
