Mason Greenwood has been spotted training alongside a former Manchester United teammate as he nears a permanent transfer away.

Following a club investigation concluding it would be best for him to continue his career elsewhere, Greenwood spent last year on loan at Getafe in La Liga.

He scored 10 goals in 36 appearances but despite still having a contract until 2025, United are looking to cash in on the forward.

They have reportedly set an asking price of £40 million, but have only received a bid of around £25 million so far.

Greenwood is back in the United Kingdom as he waits for developments in his situation and was spotted with his father.

Wearing a Jamaica football shirt and holding an orange football boot, he was also snapped taking part in a small training session alongside Shola Shoretire.

The 20-year-old is United’s youngest ever player in European competition, replacing Greenwood aged 17 years and 23 days against Real Sociedad in 2021.

With his contract up, the former Bolton Wanderers loanee was placed on the club’s retained list last month, with United saying that “discussions remain open” with him over a potential new deal.

However there hasn’t been much movement and it’s looking more likely that he will be moving on.

But while Greenwood is in Manchester, the 22-year-old is not expected to return to training with his employers.

The first-team return to action on 8 July, with many joining up for pre-season later on due to being given time off following both Euro 2024 and the Copa America.

Though Greenwood would typically be expected to be present at Carrington for fitness tests,The Athletic say he will likely be been given more time off as United look to offload him permanently.

Lazio and Marseille appear to be the two frontrunners for Greenwood’s signature.
