Premier League 2019-20: 3 players Manchester United should try to improve their results

2) Mason Greenwood

17-year-old attacker Mason Greenwood, who has played in bits and pieces in all of United's Premier League matches this season, needs to be infused more into the first side. A horrible showing from Marcus Rashford and an injury to French stalwart Anthony Martial have meant that Greenwood is highly likely to make a full start in the coming weeks.

The Englishman is quick on the flanks and can also play the hold-up role as the sole striker. While it may not be a permanent move, Greenwood can gain a lot of experience from playing against the top Premier League sides and that will only help in his development.

It would have helped if he had had the experienced Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to learn from, but the boy from Bradford is surely capable of turning the Red Devils' fortunes around.
