OLE HOLDING BACK GREENWOOD BRINGS MORE PRESSURE
WHAT a strange and ridiculous fuss is being made about the international career of Mason Greenwood. He will not be selected by Gareth Southgate this week following a request from Manchester United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Greenwood needs to be handled with care, after being sent home from the match with Iceland last year for a breach of team discipline. In the meantime, he is being courted by Jamaica. There is little chance he will accept those overtures. Greenwood wants to play for England and, if he asks around, the most recent Jamaica international call-up left many in the squad unimpressed. Yet why the kid gloves? What harm would joining up with England do? Surely special treatment will just heap additional pressure on him when he returns. Let Greenwood go. Unlike United in recent weeks, at least England are a winning team.
