Mason Greenwood begins pre-season training with former Man Utd team-mate as he prepares for transfer exit this summer

MASON GREENWOOD has started pre-season training early – on a £100-an-hour plastic pitch.

The Manchester United striker was pictured being put through his paces under the watchful eye of his agent dad along with his former United teammate Shola Shoretire in Manchester on Friday.

Greenwood – who wore a Jamaica national shirt for the session – still doesn’t know where he will be playing next season. 

He returned to Old Trafford following a loan deal with La Liga club Getafe, which saw him score ten goals and register six assists in 36 appearances, winning player of the year. 

Stars including Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are due back at United’s Carrington training base on Monday for the first day of pre-season training.

But Greenwood, 22, is unlikely to join his teammates. 

Several European clubs have expressed interest in signing the player, with Marseille and Lazio favourites to strike a deal.

United want around £34m for the academy graduate.

They ruled he would leave the club to continue his career after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour were dropped by the CPS last year.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 following allegations of attempted rape and assault.

Greenwood spent last season on loan with Getafe

A club internal review followed and United bosses ruled that Greenwood should ply his trade away from Old Trafford.

United’s new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe opened the door earlier this season to bring the troubled star back, saying the club needed to make a “fresh decision”.

Greenwood remains on United’s list of retained players and his contract at Old Trafford runs until 2025, with the club having the option to extend it by another 12 months.
