Greenwood attracting interest from Serie A
Man United confirmed on Monday this week that Mason Greenwood’s future lies away from Old Trafford. This followed an extensive investigation spanning over six months. Charges of attempted rape, assault, occasional bodily harm and controlling and coercive behaviour against the player were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
United will be open to offers. According to 90min, Italian Serie A trio Inter Milan, Atalanta and Roma have all made approaches for the striker. There is also interest from France and Saudi Arabia.

“But the teams that have shown an interest in Greenwood are more geared towards offering a loan deal as it stands, especially those based in Europe.”
