      The Red Devils confirmed last month he would not play for the club again after a six-month internal investigation into rape and assault charges that were dropped.
      Now Greenwood is determined to prove himself when he faces Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid to force his way back to Old Trafford.
      A source said: “He wants to prove he can handle the pressure and hasn’t given up hope of one day playing for United again.
      “He wants to repay the faith the club was willing to show in him before the backlash over his possible return.

      “He knows he has a lot to prove — both on and off the pitch — and he’s excited to get started.”
      Another source said he was thrilled to get the chance to put the last two years behind him with a club in Spain after a move to Lazio in Italy fell through.
      And United have vowed to support him as he plots his way back to the Premier League.
      They will stump up more than half his wages and will pay for his luxury £8,000-a-month villa.

      Todd Boehly stumped up a staggering £434million to bring in 12 new first-team stars.
      A quarter of that went on Caicedo alone, with the Blues paying Brighton a new British transfer record fee of £115m including add-ons for the Ecuadorian midfielder.
      That sees him walk into the midfielder, where he partners Arsenal’s new £105m man Declan Rice.
      Mason Mount (£60m) and Dominik Szoboszlai (£60m) join forces just in front – despite signing for rivals Manchester United and Liverpool this summer.

      In attack, Rasmus Hojlund leads the line after signing for the Red Devils in a £72m transfer.
      He is supported by Kai Havertz (£65m) and Christopher Nkunku (£56m) in an all-star attack.
      At the other end of the field, new United goalkeeper Andre Onana’s £47.2m move to Old Trafford sees him take the gloves.
      The Cameroonian is shielded by a back three of Jurrien Timber of Arsenal (£39m), Manchester City’s £77m man Josko Gvardiol and new Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, who cost up to £43m.

      And Jeremy Doku (£55.5m), Sandro Tonali (£55m), Romeo Lavia (£58m), Matheus Nunes (£53m) and Moussa Diaby (£52m) all miss out, too.
      Brennan Johnson (£50m), Cole Palmer (£42.5m), James Maddison (£45m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£40m) were among the other big-money movers before the transfer window slammed shut.
      Overseas, Jude Bellingham’s £115m switch from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid was the biggest deal, closely followed by Harry Kane leaving Tottenham to sign for Bayern Munich in a £104m move.
      Neymar was the top Saudi move as Al-Hilal stumped up £78m for the Brazilian from PSG – although the world record could be shattered if Liverpool relent and sell Mo Salah.
      Randal Kolo Muani joined PSG for £77.2m while Lucas Hernandez (£45m) and Manuel Ugarte (£51.5m) also headed to the Parc des Princes as Kim Min-jae headed to Bayern Munich for £43.5m.

      Lazio reveal reason Mason Greenwood deal fell through ‘at last minute’ – blaming Man Utd for failed loan offer

      by

      LAZIO have revealed the real reason their Mason Greenwood deal fell through at the last minute.Yesterday it was revealed that the striker, 21, had been thrown a last-ditch lifeline by top European club Lazio.

      La Liga club Getafe completed a last-minute loan deal for the striker
      However, Greenwood then signed with Spain’s Getafe on loan just minutes before the transfer window closed.
      Greenwood, who was tipped to be the next big thing by Sir Alex Ferguson, has not played competitive football since January last year. 
      He was arrested and charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, before the case was dropped by the CPS in February. 
      Greenwood had hoped for a return to United but was axed earlier this month following mounting pressure from fans. 
      Now Lazio have claimed that Manchester United are to blame for them missing out on Greenwood.
      Lazio’s president, Claudio Lotito, claims he was keen to join the Serie A club but United did not sign the paperwork in time.
      Lotito told La Lazio Siamo Noi: “I tried until the last minute”.
      Greenwood “mutually agreed” to leave United on August 21 following backlash over his potential return to the squad after his arrest for attempted rape and sexual assault.
      Most read in Sport
      He was charged in October last year but all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
      Greenwood has not kicked a ball for Utd since January 2022 when he was suspended and it was decided this month that it would be best for all if his future was away from Old Trafford. 
      Following Greenwood’s recent signing for Madrid-based club Getafe, United said in a statement: “Mason Greenwood has signed for La Liga side Getafe CF on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.
      “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United. 
      “The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”
      Getafe announced the move with a video of fans wildly celebrating outside the club’s Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium.
      They began jumping and chanting when the deal was confirmed.
      Greenwood’s last match for United was in the 1-0 Premier League win over West Ham on January 22 last year.  More

      The dad-of-one has marked the fresh start by removing United from his bio on Instagram. 
      A source told The Sun: “Mason wants to make a new beginning. He’s looking forward to rebuilding his career and moving forward. 
      “It’s a big change as he’s been with United since he was just seven years old.” 
      In February, Greenwood made significant changes to his account when he removed his profile picture and deleted more than 180 posts. 
      Most read in Football
      He kept Nike in his bio despite the sports giant dropping his sponsorship deal in February – but this has now also been removed. 
      It was understood a clause in his endorsement deal meant Nike were able to sever all ties in February without paying him any compensation whatsoever due to reputational damage and loss of commercial value. 
      He does however still follow the club on the app.
      Greenwood was arrested on January 30 last year and suspended on full pay – pocketing £75,000-a-week – by Manchester United a short time later after videos and images were posted online.
      They later axed him from the club after conducting their own investigation. 
      Following Greenwood’s recent signing for Madrid-based club Getafe, United said in a statement: “Mason Greenwood has signed for La Liga side Getafe CF on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.

      SunSport understands Mejbri turned down multiple moves in order to fight for his place in the starting XI.
      And according to the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag has given Mejbri reassurances over playing time at Old Trafford.

      They claim the Dutchman told Mejbri he’d be handed “an important role” if he decided against leaving the club.
      Mejbri has only made three appearances for United since upping sticks from Monaco’s academy four years ago.
      He played a whopping 38 games for Birmingham last season and reminded Ten Hag and United fans of his talents by scoring a stunning free kick against West Brom in February.
      Mejbri said: “There was no message [to shoot for the free-kick], the only message was in my head.

      “When things get hard, we stick together. I’m sure he (Erik ten Hag) has Sky.
      “But I just need to focus until the end of the season and we will see what happens in the summer.”
      Manchester United will be back in action on Sunday, travelling to the Emirates to take on Arsenal.

      It came after the 21-year-old “mutually agreed” to leave Manchester United last month following backlash over his potential return to the squad after his arrest for attempted rape and sexual assault.
      Rumours had been circling around what Greenwood’s future in football would hold – including what club he may join.
      A number of other clubs were said to be talks with the player, but the Spanish club was last night named the one.
      Footage has now emerged of Getafe fans celebrating their new player.
