End of the Road at Old Trafford
Manchester United are poised to part ways with Mason Greenwood, as the club plans to sell the forward in the coming summer transfer window. The decision signals a clear move by the club to refresh their squad and capitalise on Greenwood’s market value.
Loan Success Sparks Interest
After a season-long loan at La Liga’s Getafe, Greenwood’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed. His stint in Spain has attracted attention from several top-tier European clubs, including Lazio, Juventus, and Marseille, all of whom are reportedly interested in securing his services.
Rejected Bid and Price Tag
Despite the growing interest, Manchester United have already turned down a bid from Juventus, indicating their desire to hold out for a minimum transfer fee of £30 million. With the player’s contract due to expire next year, United are looking to maximise their return on investment this summer.
Goalscoring Talent Overlooked Amidst Controversy
Greenwood’s time at Manchester United has been overshadowed by personal controversies, keeping him off the pitch since the 2021-22 season. Nevertheless, his ability to find the back of the net remains undisputed, as evidenced by his goal tally during his loan and his overall scoring record at United.
United’s Attacking Dilemma
Despite being one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Premier League’s top half last season, United are seemingly prepared to let Greenwood go. The club’s decision comes even as they seek solutions to bolster their attacking options under manager Erik ten Hag.
Wider Squad Overhaul
Greenwood is not the only young star potentially exiting Old Trafford. Jadon Sancho, who spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, is also on the radar of clubs like Juventus. Additionally, United are reportedly ready to entertain offers for three first-team starters, indicating a significant reshaping of the squad is underway.
