Greenwood instructed when he’ll study his Man Utd destiny as investigation ‘nears finish’
Manchester United are reportedly aiming to make a remaining choice on Mason Greenwood’s future earlier than the Red Devils’ first sport of the season in opposition to Wolves on August 14. Greenwood has not performed for the membership since January 2022.
Greenwood stays suspended whereas United proceed an inside investigation. According to ESPN, the inquiry is ‘nearing its conclusion’ forward of the brand new season.
An announcement from the membership again in February, learn: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
“The membership will now conduct its personal course of earlier than figuring out subsequent steps. We won’t make any additional remark till that course of is full.”
Greenwood was not present for the senior squad’s first pre-season training session on Thursday but has been training alone and is allowed to play football again following the conclusion of his trial.
Atalanta are reportedly keen on signing Greenwood if he departs this summer and could be made part of a swap deal for Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund. Tutto Atalanta claim that the youngster is among the Serie A side’s top targets as they look to secure Champions League football next season.
With Erik ten Hag restricted by a £120m budget, which he has already spent half of on Mason Mount, the opportunity to reduce Hojlund’s £86m asking price will certainly appeal especially considering he is also in the market for a first-choice goalkeeper as well.
United recently submitted a £42.7m bid for Inter Milan shot-stopper Andre Onana but the Italian giants are said to want a fee in the region of £51m to let him go. If they cannot recoup enough funds to match Inter’s asking price then they will be forced to recruit a cheaper alternative.
Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow and Kevin Trapp of Eintracht Frankfurt are seen as solid replacements for the recently departed David de Gea and are both reasonably priced at £20m.
However, Ten Hag is planning on balancing the books at Old Trafford with several outgoings this summer to help increase his transfer budget including captain Harry Maguire, Fred, Scott McTominay and Jadon Sancho. Whether Greenwood will be part of this listing as nicely is but to be seen however he’ll know by subsequent month.
