      MASON Greenwood should quit Man Utd to get his career back on track, Wayne Rooney says. The striker, 21, has not played since January last year when he was arrested after allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

      It comes after reports said Greenwood’s football future was in ‘tatters’Credit: AFP
      Greenwood is still suspended by United, despite charges including attempted rape being dropped against him.
      The 21-year-old was recently pictured at a private training session with teammate Anthony Elanga but it was last night revealed there were fears his career was “in tatters”.
      Rooney has now said he thinks Greenwood should walk away from the club to try to salvage his future in football.
      The Manchester United legend, who is in charge of DC United, told The Athletic: “It leaves Mason Greenwood in a position where he is stuck.

      “So for Mason, it’s a bad position to be in because I’m sure he just wants to play football.
      “But for the club, its image and ensuring they make the right decisions, it’s almost a catch 22.
      “I think the best thing for Mason now is to get out of the club and go and develop somewhere else.”
      Rooney added that he thought the 21-year-old needed to get back on the field as it had been a long time since he played.

      He continued: “With everything that has happened and how long the internal investigation has taken, it’s probably got to a place now where Mason just needs to go and play and to try and get his career back on track.
      “It’s a difficult position for Mason but for the club as well. You have to make sure you get to the right decision before moving forward and it looks like they’re really struggling to get to that place.”
      It was last night revealed by The Athletic that Greenwood is not in the squad for the club’s pre-season tour.
      It came after Greenwood was reportedly being used as a pawn by Man United to net a striker rumoured to be worth £50m.
      Serie A club Atalanta are interested in signing the forward on loan, according to Manchester Evening News.
      Manchester United football director John Murtough has reportedly held talks with the Italian side as part of a deal to sign Rasmus Hojlund.
      The Danish striker scored nine goals in 32 games last season and is one of United’s targets this summer.
      The Red Devils believe they can net 20-year-old Hojlund for around £50 million, the Telegraph reported.
      But sources close to Atalanta played down the prospect of a move for Greenwood – with Manchester United not proactively exploring other loan options, The Athletic reports.
      Greenwood has not played since January last year when he was arrested after a woman made allegations against him on social media.

      He was due to stand trial in November accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      The charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service. More

      Savage, son of ex-Wales and Leicester midfielder Robbie, is wanted by clubs on loan or possibly a permanent move.

      But Savage is not in Erik ten Hag’s squad for today’s friendly against Lyon in Edinburgh and is unlikely to go on tour to the United States as clubs circle.
      United have also welcomed back seasoned internationals and fellow midfielders Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay for the tour which will leave limited space for younger players.

      Andre Onana flies in to complete Man Utd transfer TODAY… but deal leave Ten Hag with just £20m to spend on striker

      by

      ANDRE ONANA will sign for Manchester United today after a deal worth up to £47.2MILLION was finally sorted with Inter Milan.The keeper flew in last night and will put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with the option of a sixth, following a medical.

      Boss Erik ten Hag is hoping he might even be able to join his squad by the time they jet out to start their American tour after tonight’s friendly with Lyon in Edinburgh.
      First, however, a visa must be arranged for the 27-year-old, who will cost the Red Devils £43.8m up front with the rest of the fee based on add-ons.
      Ten Hag made him a priority after former  No 1 David de Gea left on a free transfer at the end of last month following a 12-year stay and 545 appearances.
      Cameroonian Onana had already agreed wages of around £200,000 a week before he said goodbye to Inter team-mates yesterday and headed for the airport.

      He will be re-united with Ten Hag having picked up three Eredivisie titles under the  manager before he left Ajax on a free transfer just a year ago.
      Onana, who quit international football in December after  falling out with Cameroon boss Rigobert Song at the World Cup, is Ten Hag’s second major  signing of the summer following Mason Mount’s £55m arrival.
      The Dutchman will now turn his full attention to the capture of Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund.
      The Italian club initially demanded a whopping £86m for the 6ft 3in Danish striker, who has played just 87 senior games and scored nine goals in 32 appearances last season.

      But the Old Trafford outfit are growing confident they can get the price down to around £60m including add-ons for the 20- year-old.
      Onana’s arrival, coupled with Mount’s fee, means Ten Hag has already splurged £98.8m of his  transfer budget, which is limited to £120m
      But he hopes to make up the difference for Hojlund in player sales with Harry Maguire, Anthony Elanga, Alex Telles, Scott McTominay and Dean  Henderson all available.
      And he expects to get up to £10m for full-back Telles.
      A deal is all but agreed with Al-Nassr, where he will link up again with ex-United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, with the 30-year-old already understood to have struck personal terms.
      Goalkeeper Henderson’s move to Nottingham Forest has stalled after a offer of £10m was rejected.
      But the clubs are still expected to agree on a higher fee, especially as Onana is set to become United’s new No 1. More

      Greenwood is still suspended by United, despite charges including attempted rape being dropped against him.
      He was recently pictured at a private training session with Utd teammate Anthony Elanga.
      But now the club’s pre-season has apparently kicked off without him  – sparking fears his career is “in tatters”.

      Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team are open to the idea of bringing the star striker back.
      But United’s women’s team is understood to have reservations while sponsors are also concerned about being linked to the footballer.
      The player joined the club aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.
      In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.

      Marcus Rashford signs new five-year £375k-a-week Man Utd contract to become club’s best paid player

      But relieved boss Erik ten Hag will believe he is worth every penny after months of wrangling with his previous contract due to run out in just under eleven months.
      Upon signing his new deal, Rashford said: “I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honour of wearing the shirt.
      “I’ve already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.
      “As a United fan all my life, I know the responsibility that comes with representing this badge and feel the highs and lows as much as anyone.

      “I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room.
      “I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.”
      The 25-year-old flirted with Paris Saint-Germain during long-running negotiations.
      And a clutch of mega-wealthy Saudi clubs were waiting to pounce for the front man who blasted back to form last season after suffering two years of injuries with 30 goals in 56 games.

      While he always wanted to re-commit himself to the club he joined 18 years ago the England star was also determined to vastly increase his £200,000-per-week wage and get something approaching the going rate paid to the game’s biggest names.
      Now he is the fourth-highest earner in England behind top-paid Manchester City striker Erling Haaland who can earn up to £865,000 a week with bonuses.
      Haaland’s club mate Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah at Liverpool rack up £400,000 a week with add-ons although like the Norwegian, Belgian and Egyptian their basic salary is the same as Rashford’s.
      Confirmation of his signature on the deal that keeps him at Old Trafford until 2028 came as a double boost to Ten Hag.
      Not long before United made the announcement that Rashford had formally signed on again there was news that Andre Onana was flying into Manchester to complete his move from Inter Milan.
      The replacement for ex-No1 David de Gea will also sign a five-year contract after a medical tomorrow after the clubs agreed a fee that could total £47.2M with £43.8M up front.
      Ten Hag believes that local lad Rashford’s best is yet to come.

      Speaking ahead of his side’s final match of the season in May, he said: “Yes, I think there is more to come from Marcus.
      “There’s a lot of room for improvement in his game and I’m convinced he can score even more.
      “When you take, for instance, the last 10 games he didn’t score many goals.
      “I think only two or three, so yes he can improve.
      “I am happy about what he has done. He has brought himself back.

      “We supported him where we could, with the way we play but also in his mental mindset.
      “We are happy with him, but we must push him more.

      “I think Marcus is capable of scoring 40 goals in a season. For him, that’s the next step.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo to be joined in Saudi Arabia by forgotten Man Utd star after club ‘agrees transfer’

      And now he looks on course to be reunited with Alex Telles at the Saudi Pro League side.
      According to Fabrizio Romano, United are close to finalising a deal with Al-Nassr for the left-back, with a verbal agreement in place.
      It is thought the transfer will be sealed as soon as the documents and final checks are completed.
      Al-Nassr also want to land Lens’ former Manchester City academy midfielder Sefo Fofana.

      Telles, 30, joined United from Porto in a £15.4million deal in 2020.
      However, he has struggled to make an impression at Old Trafford, failing to dislodge Luke Shaw from the spot.
      Tyrell Malacia also joined the Red Devils last summer, further pushing Telles down the pecking order.
      The 12-cap Brazil international spent last season on loan at Sevilla.

      He made 38 appearances for the Spanish giants, including 94 minutes in the Europa League final as they beat Roma on penalties.
      But Telles has not reported for pre-season with United and looks set to be sold this summer.
      Al-Nassr have already brought in Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic this summer.
      The midfielder arrived fresh from reaching the Champions League final with Inter Milan.
      But their hopes of signing Hakim Ziyech fell through when he reportedly failed a medical and then refused a major pay cut.
      However, Al-Nassr were hit with a ban on registering new players by Fifa after refusing to pay £390,000 in add-ons they owe Leicester City for Ahmed Musa, who left the Foxes in 2018.
      And their pre-season woes took another hit when Ronaldo’s side were stuffed 5-0 in a friendly against Celta Vigo.

      He was also charged with attacking her sister Emma Greville on the same date and controlling or coercive behaviour against Kate over a three-year period.
