2nd best teenager I’ve seen in my time watching United after Rooney.
If he stays grounded he can potentially one of the greats.
I said well before Sancho signed that Greenwood will be better than him and Rashford and I stand by it.
Sakas not overrated, Jones is talented but seems to be being moulded into a disciplined role by Klopp like Wijnaldum was because hes a very tidy player on the ball.
I highly rate Greenwood probably higher than the other 2 mentioned too so i can't agree with the OP.
Very promising player... still finding his feet in the striker role, but played it well on Saturday. Genuine chance of being world class, imho.
Good to see a positive post, W&R
Saka has had a better career so far. Granted it is easy to get in the Arsenal side.
Not sure where you have been reading Jones is better. Is that your medication talking again?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Suppose considering what Saka has with the national side you could say he’s had the best career however Greenwood equalled Rooney and Best’s 17 goal a season tally as an 18 year old.
I don't know if he will be better than Sancho as I have hardly seen him play.
Rashford I don't know, when he first came into the team I think he was better than Greenwood is now, but he isn't at present.
Whether it's his injuries, being overplayed I don't know, but I guess we will find out soon.
Saka is brilliant. I think its fine to appreciate then both.
Mason is scary though. Has every chance of being one of the best players on the planet in a few years.
Sakas been versatile, pretty sure he played a fair bit at wingback etc so dno why you'd be judging him based on that not getting over 10 goals. In a defensive team under Arteta too tbf but hes very good for his age positionally etc like Sterling was so not surprised hes been trusted in such roles. But i doubt the average football fan (fifa fan girl) sees or appreciates such things they just wanna see dabs and cruyff turns and goals.

What are you basing that on?
Why the need for the comparisons
Saka is a good player
Ditto Mason
Don't know who Jones is(Phil Jones)?

Exactly. Saka is a fine young but you’ve seen plenty of his like before. Greenwood is already one of the deadliest finishers out there imo.
Very few players score that goal vs Leeds on their left foot. He had to get that finish inch perfect and it wasn’t a once off.
I have never, ever, seen a Liverpool fan say Jones is on the same level as Greenwood and suspect you have made that up.
But yes fine player if he keeps his head straight.
He is the best youngster in the league, reminds me of rvp the way is runds, uses his arms and some of his finishes.

Greenwood has shades of Fowler in his finishing.
Whenever I see Greenwood, his overall style and precision in front of goal, It is hard not to see RVP in him, and I think like RVP he will be at his peak when he is 23.

I agree Robbing. The two best 'natural' finishers I have seen were Greaves and Fowler. If he gets to there I'll be chuffed, and I think he will.

Yeah they both take their shots early with little to no back lift. So hard for a keeper to get set.
Saka is being way to overrated in my opinion. Played ok in the Euros but watching Greenwood, you can see a better player, again IMO!
They're completely different players.

Arsenals best player
Good Euros
If he can be played consistently in one position then he could be very good. He doesn't want to end up in a Rashford scenario though where the club struggled to find whether he was a 9 or a wide attacker for a couple of seasons. That's not to say Rashford is poor or it's wrong to have versatility, but I think Greenwood would end up better if he knew his best position but it does seem like United want him as a 9 and that's probably where he is best suited.
I've seen comparisons to Saka, but not to Jones. The only time I've seen Jones, Saka and Greenwood in the same conversation is at International level when talkin about our best young prospects coming through.
Saka even though so young is so overrated and will struggle to break the 10 goal mark
-------
Strange metric to rate Saka on, but he scored 7 last season from LB, RB, CM, wings so not really sure why you think he couldn't break 10 if he is played in an attacking role for a whole season.
I like Jones and Saka, they're great prospects, it's a good crop coming though for England. You can't say who'll be the best out of them and Greenwood yet as you don't know how they'll keep developing, whether they'll get injuries etc.
Future looks bright for United and England. If he keeps himself humble and grounded he will go on to do amazing things. Not seen a finisher as good as him since RVN and Ole. I think he's even more lethal than RVP was which is saying something.
