      Mason Greenwood shares photos of Nike shoes despite ex-Man Utd star being dropped by sponsor after arrest

      by

      MASON Greenwood has shared photos of Nike shoes despite the sponsor dropping the e ex-Manchester United star.The 22-year-old striker shared a snap of himself wearing Nike trainers but it is unclear if he has re-signed with the popular sportswear brand.

      Nike sponsored the ex-England star before cancelling his contract in 2022 after he was arrested by cops.
      However, all charges – which Greenwood has always denied – were dropped in February 2023 by the Crown Prosecution Service.
      Greenwood has not signed a new contract with any boot maker since Nike cut him loose.
      But has now shared a post on Instagram of him wearing Nike Air Max 97s.

      Greenwood also sparked speculation after uploading a picture featuring a number of different coloured Nike shoes in a bag.
      Players without boot sponsors often play in blackout boots with no logo.
      This could be because they are not endorsing a specific brand and do not want to be associated with a company until they get paid.
      Others, such as Vinicius Jr, have also worn blackout boots in protest before.

      But Greenwood has continued to sport the prominent Nike “swoosh” logo despite his axing.
      The striker has also been spotted wearing old Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 boots this year.
      In February, the sportswear company confirmed that Mason Greenwood is no longer associated with them.
      This was despite the ex-Prem ace updating a social media page to include a link to them.
      Greenwood “mutually agreed” to leave United on August 21 following a probe into his January 2022 arrest.
      The forward was provided with a pathway back to football by La Liga side Getafe.
      The Spanish club announced the deal just minutes before the summer transfer window deadline arrived on Friday.
      Greenwood has bagged three goals and two assists in nine games, settling into the Spanish way of life with his partner and baby daughter.
      United will receive no loan fee and will cover the majority of his £75,000-a-week wage during his time in Spain.
      Greenwood still has two years left to run with the option of a further 12 months had the club wanted to take it up.
      Failing to offload him would have left the club facing a payment of nearly £8million.
      The Sun have contacted Nike for comment.

      Onana went off with a groin problem against Mauritius last Friday and was withdrawn from the squad to face Libya on Tuesday night.

      But journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests Onana will make United’s line-up when the Premier League resumes this weekend.

      Man Utd horror stats are misleading… they’re like Liverpool, says rival who reveals gameplan to target Maguire failed

      by

      LUTON winger Andros Townsend has praised Manchester United following his side’s 1-0 defeat to them before the international break.Townsend said Manchester United’s statistics do not tell the whole story this season and that they were a very difficult opponent to come up against.

      After a tough start to the season, Manchester United have rallied to four wins in five in the Premier League.
      They sit sixth in the table on 21 points, five points off Tottenham in fourth.
      Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Townsend said: “They are difficult. We were able to defend against them well but similar to Liverpool they just find a way.
      “Bruno Fernandes drifts out to the outside left position, links up with Reguilon, they get a few crosses that way. Dalot comes into the midfield creating an overload and we did limit them to very few chances and defended well.

      “Unfortunately, we switched off at one set piece and that was our whole game plan done. At the top level you need to stay switched on for 95 to 96 minutes because these top teams can punish you.”
      Luton were ultimately outdone via a Victor Lindelof goal after a corner kick from Fernandes but Townsend insisted it was a tough day at the office all round for Luton.
      Townsend continued: “Honestly, it was extremely tough game. There was rotation all over the pitch. We were well drilled and confident as we had just got a point against Liverpool the week before, we had a game plan to press high up the pitch and force turnovers, United didn’t really give us anything.”
      Despite coach Rob Edwards outlining a plan to the Luton players before the game to give Harry Maguire no time on the ball, Townsend said Maguire evaded the press well.

      He said: “Maguire was good on the ball, we tried to press him but he was very good, Bruno Fernandes didn’t give us anything. You look on the stats sheet and it might be like United didn’t do this or that but it was so difficult for us to be able to contain this United side. They posed so many problems, even if it doesn’t show up on a piece of paper.”
      Maguire started his fifth successive Premier League game in a row against Luton and continues to keep Raphael Varane out of the side.
      The defender is settling well back into the side having been stripped of the captaincy and looking set to leave this summer.
      United travel to Everton on Sunday and will be the first side to face the Toffees since their 10 point deduction dropped them into the relegation zone.

      They currently sit sixth in the Premier League table and are at risk of crashing out of the Champions League in the group stages.
      Erik ten Hag is now eager to strengthen his squad in January, with several stars already on his transfer wishlist.
      And according to Catalan outlet El Nacional, Griezmann is considered a top target.
      United officials have travelled to Spain to hold discussions with the Frenchman’s entourage over a potential transfer.

      In an attempt to lure him to the Premier League, they have allegedly offered to triple Griezmann’s Atletico Madrid salary, which will see him earn around £350,000 per week.
      The report also adds that the striker has a £21.9million (€25m) release clause, making him an affordable target.
      Griezmann first joined Atletico Madrid in 2014 after completing a £24m transfer from Real Sociedad.
      He left to sign for Barcelona after they activated his £105m buy-out clause in 2019, but experienced a dip in form.

      And during the camp, he openly discussed the idea of linking up with Portuguese sensation Joao Neves for club as well as country.
      Fernandes told Sport TV: “I would love to have him at United.
      “But it’s Joao choice…
      “He has top quality.

      “He’s a great player but it depends on the coach’s ideas.
      “He will have a great future, in United or somewhere else.”
      And the comments to the media got plenty of United supporters very excited indeed as they heaped praise on their skipper for tapping up teenager Neves.
      One said: “Agent Bruno, you have one thing to do.”

      Another wrote: “Agent Bruno doing his thing, expect to see the player at MUFC in the summer.”
      A third added: “That’s why I love him so much.”
      A fourth said: “Come to Manchester United.”
      And a final user commented: “Something is cooking here.”
      Neves only turned 19 in September but is already one of the brightest talents for boyhood club Benfica and is being eyed by Erik ten Hag.
      After coming through the academy, the midfielder broke into the first team following Enzo Fernandez’s £106million exit to Chelsea in January.
      He forced his way into the starting XI by the latter stages of the 2022-23 season as Benfica won the league title and scored his first goal in the Lisbon derby against Sporting.
      Last week, the 5ft 9ins technically-gifted talent – who signed a new contract in the summer until 2028 – repeated the trick against Benfica’s arch-rivals with a 94th-minute winner.
      Neves represented Portugal through the youth levels and made his senior debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina last month.

      Ronaldo’s Saudi side Al-Nassr were keen to make him the latest big-name addition and retain hope of talking him round.
      But sources close to De Gea insist wife Edurne is not keen on joining the Middle East exodus.
      United could yet offer De Gea a short-term deal, while Valencia’s interest in the Spaniard may be scuppered by their financial issues.
      There is also interest from Inter Miami and the prospect of playing in MLS does hold some appeal.

      Man Utd could be without No1 goalkeeper Andre Onana in the New Year, with Cameroon having qualified.
