Greenwood key to United's transfer policy

Manchester United are ready to delay any moves for a striker as they feel Mason Greenwood is well placed to learn from Edinson Cavani.

Cavani committed to a new deal at Old Trafford earlier in the week, and the Mirror claims it has persuaded United to hold fire on any bids for Harry Kane or Erling Haaland.

United feel Cavani is key to helping Greenwood learn the trade of a number nine, which could save the club huge amounts in the transfer market.

Allardyce advice for Maitland-Niles

Sam Allardyce has told Ainsley Maitland-Niles not to be stubborn and to take on any role asked of him by Arsenal.

Maitland-Niles has impressed in his preferred midfield position while on loan at West Brom, but that is a competitive pond at Arsenal.

The youngster has been deployed as a full-back for Arsenal, and Allardyce feels he should swallow his pride and play in any role he is asked to by Mikel Arteta.

"Arsenal have got many talented midfield players,” Allardyce told the Mirror. "I can see why it’s been difficult for him. It’s very competitive in there.

"That’s why he’s been played more as a full-back. If I were him, I’d play wherever the manager picked me - and I’d never turn it down because if you are able to play in a number of positions, then you are going to get more games than if you had one position and one position only.”
