Andy Cole has praised Mason Greenwood's finishing but added that he hopes that Manchester United 'won't put too much pressure' on the youngster.
Greenwood has scored for United against Astana in the Europa League and Rochdale in the Carabao Cup, and he could start against Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday night, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial out injured.
United legend Cole is a huge fan of Greenwood, describing his finishing as 'a joke', but is concerned that the youngster could get 'thrown in at the deep end'.
Cole told BBC Radio 5 Live (via The Sun): 'He's got a chance, he has got a chance. His finishing is a joke. Left or right foot, he's got quality in abundance.
'I just hope they won't put too much undue pressure on him. He's got great ability.
'The disappointing thing is he's going to have to get thrown in to the deep end a little bit earlier than they would have liked, due to injuries, due to them being prepared to allow Lukaku and Sanchez to go.
'They're looking at it and saying 'we've got Mason, we're going to give Marcus [Rashford] the opportunity to play centre-forward.'
