I like many said it when he started - the next Danny Welbeck and Greenwood is the next Marcus Rashford. All rank average. However, playing for the scum means your trajectory goes as follows - score a couple of goals when young, supporters get giddy. Several caps for England follow.
Goals dry up but they still get picked for England allowing stock to remain high. Sold for decent money to a club a tier below. For Welbeck this was Arsenal. This will mostly likely be Bournemouth for Gashy. Continue to be tripe for the next few years at new club. Get sold on to a club the next tier down. In Welbeck’s case this is Watford. At this juncture, the England career is well over and they are consigned to a memory of being for a moment the next big hope for the Scum and for England.
Rashford is not far off the second stage. Maybe this and another before the baton is passed on to Greentosh.
Rinse and repeat.
