Mason Greenwood ‘Offered Football Lifeline’ By Jose Mourinho

Roma manager, Jose Mourinho is believed to be keen on Mason Greenwood after Manchester United released a statement on Monday, August 21, 2023, announcing the 21-year-old will not play for them again.

According to Mail Sport, the Serie A side are among a number of teams who have contacted United.

Following a five-month internal investigation, the Red Devils deemed that Greenwood had not committed a string of serious offences he had been charged with.

But the club, along with the player, decided that it would be best if he continued his career elsewhere.

The statement reads in part: “Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged.

“That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.

“All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”

It is unlikely that Greenwood will move to another club in England.

Instead, a switch abroad is on the cards with interest from Italy, Turkey and elsewhere.
