Mason Greenwood linked with Roma move
Mason Greenwood’s link to Roma is particularly notable due to his previous connection with their manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho was manager at Manchester United when Greenwood began to start making a name for himself.
While it was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who handed Greenwood his debut, it was Mourinho who first called him up to train with the first team squad, when he was 16.
In an interview with The Athletic in 2021, former head of development Nicky Butt said Greenwood caught Mourinho’s eye early on.
Butt said: “He asked, ‘Who is this kid Greenwood?’ when Mason was 15. He said ‘bring him to train with us’, and I said, ‘We can’t, because he’s at school and there are rules and regulations’.”
Greenwood is currently suspended by Manchester United pending an internal investigation into the events leading to his arrest in early 2022.
No current criminal charges are active against the striker, however, Manchester United are undecided whether to bring him back, and face a backlash if they do.
Greenwood, 21, is keen to resume his career, and is under contract at Old Trafford until 2025.
Whether his future lies with Jose Mourinho at Roma or not, is unclear, but it is one of the more intriguing possibilities.
