Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has played down comparisons between Mason Greenwood and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
The young United forward netted in a 1-1 draw against Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Greenwood and Haaland are two of Europe's brightest young strikers, but Rangnick believes they are completely different players.
"They are a different kind of striker," Rangnick said post-game, per Sky Sports, when asked to compare Greenwood to Haaland, who has been linked to United.
"Erling, for me, is a target striker, who can play as a single striker like a target man or together with another striker in a 4-4-2. I think Mason is more of a nine-and-a-half. He can play as a striker, he can also come from the wing, he can play together with another striker and he's very technical. Left foot, right foot.
"And as I said, sometimes he looks a bit not on an athletic level. I think we have to develop him there physically, but technically all the things that he can do with the ball are outstanding.
"So, I am not so much worried about his technical level. We need to develop him physically and mentally to become the strongest version of himself.
"And if we manage to do that, he can become a regular player and a valuable player for our club in the future."
