Mason Greenwood 'needs to see a sports psychologist', says Crystal Palace star Andros Townsend amid Manchester United's growing concerns over his attitude and lifestyle

Andros Townsend has urged Manchester United starlet Mason Greenwood to see a sports psychologist to help him through the difficulties he is facing at present.

Despite his impressive breakthrough into the United first-team squad last season, Greenwood has attracted criticism off the pitch with the club increasingly concerned over his attitude.

Greenwood did not feature in Saturday's 3-1 win at Everton with illness cited as the reason, but as Sportsmail reported on Tuesday, it is understood that his performance in training on Friday was below-par.

There are also concerns at the club over Greenwood's lifestyle, specifically the amount of sleep and rest he is getting to stay in the condition needed to perform at the highest level.
