Marcus Rashford is holding Mason Greenwood back at Man United, according to Paul Parker... with former full-back claiming exit talk 'might be drummed up' by youngster's agent

Mason Greenwood is being held back at Manchester United by team-mate Marcus Rashford, according to former club defender Paul Parker.

The 20-year-old forward has started both of interim boss Ralf Rangnick's Premier League games in charge so far on the bench, with fellow England international Rashford being preferred in attack.

The 24-year-old however has still played fewer minutes than Greenwood this term despite playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo up top, while also managing to score just twice compared to his younger team-mate's four.

But former full-back Parker believes Greenwood should be handed a go in the near future to avoid him losing confidence, while insisting talk of him leaving - with Arsenal having been linked - could just be talk from his agent.
