Jose Mourinho contact Mason Greenwood as Man Utd consider loan deal

Mason Greenwood, a forward for Manchester United, could make a shocking summer transfer to Roma.

Over 18 months after his last appearance, Mason Greenwood has been contacted by Roma manager Jose Mourinho about a potential loan move for the Manchester United forward.

The Red Devils suspended the English international in January 2022 after he was accused of attempting rape, acting in a controlling and coercive manner, and violence. 

As a result of the Crown Prosecution Service dropping all allegations, Greenwood "no longer faces criminal proceedings," according to police in February.

Greenwood's reinstatement to Erik ten Hag's first-team roster is something United is considering after conducting its own inquiry after the claims. 

However, he has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford while he is still on suspension, and Roma are the most recent team to express interest in the England international.

Jose Mourinho reached out to Greenwood

Despite not having played since January 2022, Jose Mourinho has contacted the attacker about signing him on a loan for the 2023–24 season according to reports.

A source told The Sun, "Jose rang Mason’s dad and also spoke with Mason. He told him the best way out of his current situation is to start playing football - and that eventually all the hassle will fade away.

"Mason was pleased that he got in touch and it has lifted his spirits. He wants to get back playing and is just waiting for United to tell him what the future holds."

Greenwood, who began returning to training last week for the first time since the charges were dismissed, has been linked with a number of other Serie A clubs, including Juventus and AC Milan.

The 21-year-old was seen having a personal training session with his instructor after all allegations were dropped.

According to The Mirror, Greenwood spent 90 minutes at a public sports facility honing his close control and shooting range with the ball.

The Man United attacker wore a fitness tracker during the workout in addition to a black T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms.

Up until the summer of 2025, the forward still has a contract with Man United. He has played 129 games for United and scored 35 goals. He made his senior debut in the Champions League in March 2019.
