Man United must suffer for releasing him for free, he’s one of the best players in the world now and i felt sorry for him when i heard the news”- Former Man United coach Jose Mourinho says Man united player released on free is even better than Foden and Grealish combined.

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho recently expressed regret over the club’s decision to release a key player on a free transfer: Mason Greenwood. Known for his tactical acumen and forthright opinions, Mourinho highlighted that Greenwood’s current level in world football surpasses the combined skills of English stars Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Greenwood, a promising forward at just 22, is at a career crossroads with Manchester United. He has drawn significant interest from Italian giants Juventus but has not featured for United since January 2022 due to a suspension following assault allegations involving his girlfriend.

Despite this hiatus, Greenwood showcased his talent during a loan spell at Spanish club Getafe last season, scoring eight goals and providing six assists in 33 appearances.

The arrival of Erik ten Hag as Manchester United’s manager has cast uncertainty over Greenwood’s future at the club. The Dutch manager’s strategic vision and tactical preferences have seemingly shifted the club’s focus, affecting Greenwood’s chances of a return to the squad.

Negotiations between Juventus and Manchester United over Greenwood’s potential transfer are ongoing, with no final agreement on personal terms yet. Greenwood’s potential move to Juventus is heavily influenced by another transfer involving Federico Chiesa. The 26-year-old Italian international is currently negotiating a contract extension with Juventus, but disagreements over financial terms have left his future with the club in doubt. A resolution is expected after the European Championships.

If Greenwood joins Juventus, he would team up with talents like Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic and Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik, under the guidance of newly appointed manager Thiago Motta, who aims to replicate his success with Juventus after their third-place finish under Max Allegri last season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is actively seeking to strengthen their attacking lineup during the summer transfer window. They have been linked with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and are keen on adding more firepower to their squad. Rasmus Hojlund, who joined from Atalanta last summer for £72 million, had a mixed debut season but finished strong, scoring 15 goals across all competitions.

Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League, Manchester United’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at Wembley added a positive note to a challenging season. Financial constraints and Erik ten Hag’s strategic plans have led Manchester United to consider selling Greenwood to boost their summer transfer funds. Reports suggest that the club’s available budget for new signings is around £35 million, necessitating player sales to finance further acquisitions and support the manager’s ambitious goals.

The ongoing developments surrounding Mason Greenwood and Manchester United’s transfer strategies highlight the dynamic and high-stakes nature of modern football. As negotiations continue, football fans worldwide eagerly anticipate the outcomes that will shape the futures of both the player and the club.
