Paul Pogba is said to have asked the Juventus board to recruit Mason Greenwood in the summer transfer window of 2023.
According to the British press, Pogba believes this summer is a good opportunity for Juventus to recruit Greenwood from Man Utd. The future of the England international at Old Trafford is increasingly unpredictable. Currently, the “Red Devils” have not made any decisions regarding the 21-year-old player.
Greenwood’s problems stem from allegations of rape, assault, and death threats from his ex-girlfriend Harriet Robson. The court later found Greenwood innocent. But the impact of that incident made Man Utd not dare to let the British player play again. The Manchester team fears Greenwood’s bad reputation may affect the club’s image, displeasing sponsors.
Faced with that situation, many teams are eyeing this talented winger. The Daily Mail revealed Juventus could give Greenwood a chance to restart his career. A long-term loan contract can help the striker born in 2001 gradually return to the pitch.
Having played together at Man Utd, Pogba knows Greenwood’s ability well. In the context of Inter and Milan also eyeing Greenwood, Pogba wants the Juventus leadership to act soon.
In 2021, Pogba affirmed: “Mason often dribbles with his left foot, but in finishing situations, he can do it well with both feet. Mason’s finishing ability is impressive. He’s the best finisher I’ve ever seen.”
Personally, Greenwood gradually lost patience and had no hope of returning to the Man Utd squad. According to The Sun, Greenwood told close friends that he plans to leave after 3 months of languishing waiting for a decision from the host club about his future.
“Greenwood sits at home kicking his heels and is very frustrated. He wants to return but realizes the situation is very complicated. Greenwood is determined to play again but believes he will not put on the Man Utd shirt one more time. ever again, ” a source told The Sun.
Greenwood began to look for a new place to redo his career. Many Turkish and Chinese clubs want Greenwood’s services. However, the talent born in 2001 is ambitious to compete in Europe.
Milan was one of the first teams to voice their desire to have Greenwood. They want to add a young striker because Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract is about to expire and Olivier Giroud is showing signs of age. Divock Origi is not physically fit enough to lead the attack regularly.
Before the trouble, Greenwood was the number one choice of the “Red Devils” for the right-wing position. The mature player from the Carrington furnace possesses speed, technique, and the ability to launch powerful shots with both feet. He scored 35 goals and provided 12 assists in 129 games for the first team.
