“Man United must suffer for releasing him for free, he’s one of the best players in the world now and i felt sorry for him when i heard the news”- Former Man United coach Jose Mourinho says Man united player released on free is even better than Foden and Grealish combined
Former Manchester United coach José Mourinho expressed regret over the club’s decision to release a player he considers one of the best in the world, stating that Manchester United should suffer for letting him go for free. He compared the player favorably to Phil Foden and Jack Grealish combined.
The future of Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood remains uncertain, with Italian powerhouse Juventus showing significant interest in acquiring him. Greenwood, who is 22 years old, has been absent from Manchester United since January 2022, following his suspension due to allegations of assaulting his girlfriend.
Last season, Greenwood was loaned to Spanish club Getafe, where he showcased his skills by scoring eight goals and providing six assists in 33 La Liga appearances. Despite his promising performance, the arrival of manager Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford has dashed any hopes of Greenwood’s return to Manchester United.
Juventus is keen on signing Greenwood, according to Caught Offside, although no agreement has been reached on personal terms. The negotiations are described as “open,” with various possibilities still being explored.
A critical factor in Greenwood’s potential move to Juventus is the status of Federico Chiesa. Chiesa, currently participating in the European Championships with Italy, has been negotiating a new contract with Juventus. His current deal expires in 2025, but there is still a significant gap between what the club is offering and what Chiesa is demanding. The resolution of Chiesa’s future will likely impact Greenwood’s transfer, with another meeting planned after the Euros.
Should Greenwood join Juventus, he would be part of a forward lineup that includes Serbian striker Dušan Vlahović and Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik. New manager Thiago Motta, who recently led Bologna to a Champions League spot, will be guiding Juventus after their third-place finish in Serie A under Max Allegri.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is focused on strengthening their attacking options during the summer transfer window. Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. Additionally, Rasmus Højlund, who was signed for £72 million from Atalanta last summer, had a mixed debut season but finished strong, scoring 15 goals in all competitions. Despite this, Manchester United had a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League but managed to secure the FA Cup by defeating Manchester City at Wembley.
Reports from Talksport indicate that Manchester United is looking to sell Greenwood to fund their summer spending spree and support manager Ten Hag. The radio station suggests that without player sales, the club has only around £35 million available for transfers this summer.
