Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is reportedly a target for AC Milan for the summer transfer window.
Mason Greenwood has not played for Manchester United since January 2022, when he was accused of rape and physical assault. However, those charges have been dropped. A report from Matteo Moretto claims that AC Milan admire his technical qualities and could look to make a move for him at the end of the season.
AC Milan could certainly use more depth in their attack. To that end, Greenwood could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. Given his situation at Manchester United, the Red Devils are unlikely to demand a hefty price for him. So the 21-year-old is there to be signed for a bargain.
Greenwood was regarded as one of the best young players in the Premier League when he managed broke through to the first-team scene at Manchester United. However, it has been a while since he has played professional football. So it remains to be seen whether he can re-capture his form and confidence.
The beleaguered forward needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and it is highly unlikely that he will get those opportunities at Manchester United.
Despite his charges being dropped, Manchester United have not allowed him to return to the first-team fold. Perhaps a move away from England would be ideal for Greenwood. The beleaguered attacker has been linked with a move to Spain in the past.
AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them is likely to be a tempting proposition for the youngster. Greenwood can operate as a centre forward as well as a wide forward. He has the ability to get past players and put the ball in the back of the net consistently.
The 21-year-old was expected to develop into a world-class player, and it remains to be seen, whether we can get his career back on track once again. AC Milan have signed talented young English players like Fikayo Tomori from the Premier League in the past, and they have benefited from those signings. The Italian outfit will hope that Greenwood can turn into a success story for them as well.
