Juventus eyes Greenwood, could involve Pogba

Juventus is the latest club to express an interest in signing Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, according to reports.

The Italian Serie A team is believed to be using the presence of Greenwood’s former teammate Paul Pogba as a bargaining tool to persuade the troubled striker to join their ranks in Turin.

Greenwood has been out of competitive football for over 15 months, after being suspended by the club following allegations of sexual assault against him.

He was arrested and later released after the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew the charges.

The Red Devils are yet to allow the 21-year-old back into the fold as they complete their internal processes.

There have been reports of disquiet among the United players, especially the Women’s side, that his return could cause divisions.

As the Sun reports, Juventus have now entered the fray to offer Greenwood a route back to professional football.

Before his misfortunes, he was one of the most promising striking prospects in the world. other Italian clubs, AC Milan and Roma, are also believed to be interested.

Pogba’s role in Greenwood to Juventus

Football Italia adds that Pogba is personally encouraging the Old lady to sign Greenwood with the club believed to have approached his camp already.

Greenwood is contracted until 2025 and given his latest cases, he shouldn’t attract a huge fee should United decide to sell him. Juventus are said to be interested in a long-term loan deal.

Pogba, meanwhile, hasn’t had the best of seasons since rejoining the Turin club for a second stint. His minutes have been minimal, with injuries keeping him out of Massimiliano Allegri’s side. Allegri is chasing a top-four finish, with the Europa League title also a huge possibility.

Greenwood gives up on Man United

Previously, Sports Brief reported that Greenwood has reportedly informed his friends that he won’t play for the club again.

Greenwood, who hasn’t played for over 15 months after he was suspended, was hopeful of a quick return once his charges were dropped.

Greenwood has seemingly given up on representing the club again. The teenage star is said to have informed his friends of his decision even as he awaits the club’s verdict.
