      Greenwood turned down offers to play for Manchester City and Juventus, The Athletic reports.
      He raised the prospect of moving to Manchester City to United staff during tense moments in training.
      When Manchester City directly approached him, Greenwood turned them down.
      He also rejected an approach from Juventus before signing his first professional contract.

      Greenwood hasn’t played professionally since January 2022 when the Red Devils beat West Ham at Old Trafford.
      He was arrested after a woman made allegations against him.
      He was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
      Those charges were dropped last month, with the Crown Prosecution Service blaming the withdrawal of key witnesses and discovery of new material.

      Greenwood released a statement after the decision, which read: “I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support. There will be no further comment.”
      It comes after Greenwood recently learned his partner is pregnant with his first child.
      The £75,000-a-week Manchester United striker is expecting his first child with the university student this summer.
      It is understood Greenwood could face a TV interview as part of a “phased approach” to his comeback.
      And he has held face-to-face meetings with Man Utd bosses since the charges against him were dropped.
      Meanwhile, a top sports lawyer said Greenwood may have lost “millions” after being dropped by major sponsors Nike.
      A PR expert added that any club taking him on, should United let him go, would take on a huge financial risk.
      Despite this, a Champions League team have made “enquiries” over a possible transfer, while Greenwood himself was reported to be eyeing a move abroad to restart his career if he’s dropped by his current club.

      Man Utd ‘line up £80m Harry Kane transfer offer after club chiefs give Erik ten Hag green light to swoop’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have given Erik ten Hag the green light to bid £80million for Harry Kane, according to reports.And they want to wrap up a deal to sign the England captain before the end of the season.

      The Tottenham striker, 29, is a long-term target for the Red Devils who desperately want a new No9 this summer after axing Cristiano Ronaldo.
      SunSport revealed earlier in March that the Old Trafford club are confident they will land Kane this summer if Tottenham miss out on the top four and the Champions League.
      Spurs have been holding out for £100m – but United hope they will accept an offer below that.
      Now the Mirror report the Red Devils board have sanctioned an £80m opening offer for their priority transfer target.
      It is thought Ten Hag implored his seniors to stump up the cash because he is desperate to secure the striker to transform his side into genuine title contenders and therefore wants to open talks as soon as possible.
      Kane is wanted by plenty of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Chelsea – but the report adds his preferred destination is Old Trafford.
      His current £200,000-a-week contract at Tottenham expires in 2024 and he needs to make a decision on his future as his long wait for a trophy goes on.
      Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy understandably wants Kane to stay but knows he must make a shrewd managerial appointment to replace Antonio Conte and convince Kane the North Londoners can fight for silverware.
      Most read in Football
      United made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party and were encouraged by the response.
      Kane said in January that there had “not been much talking” with Spurs over a new contract but he was “sure there will be conversations over the coming months”.
      Champions Manchester City are no longer in the running, having failed to land the striker in 2021 as they were quoted a whopping £150m by Levy.
      Now the Spurs chief is set to have to settle for far less than that – or else he risks losing Kane for nothing next year.
      On the international stage, Kane became England’s all-time record goalscorer with his penalty against Italy last week.
      And he took his tally to 55 against Ukraine on Sunday.

      Fans baffled by Sanchez’s late winner direct from CORNER
      Former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez scored a bizarre corner winner for Chile, leaving fans baffled.
      The 34-year-old now plies his trade in France for Marseille after winning a Serie A title with Inter Milan.

      But Sanchez remains a key player for his country.
      He won his 153rd international cap for Chile in Monday’s friendly game against Paraguay. And he scored his 51st goal with 15 minutes left to level the score at 2-2.
      But Sanchez wasn’t finished yet as he landed a winner for Chile in the 92nd minute. Sanchez fired in a corner as time ticked down to the final whistle. And somehow the ball ended up in the back of the net at the near post, sparking wild celebrations.

      Replays showed that Paraguay goalkeeper Antony Silva had actually palmed the ball straight into his own net when trying to punch what should have been a routine save away.
      And TV viewers were left puzzled by his horrendous mistake, which later went down as an own-goal.
      One said: “I didn’t understand Alexis’ shot but even less what Silva did.” Another declared: “He fished for the ball and caused the goalie to make an error, the quality of Sanchez.”
      One asked: “How on earth has that gone in?” Another added: “The best player Chile has ever produced.”
      Four years ago today…
      Four years ago today Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed Man Utd manager.
      The 50-year-old first took charge as a caretaker and then got the job permanently.
      He guided Man Utd to some memorable victories, a Europa League final and a second place finish in the Premier League.
      Solskjaer has been out of management since he was sacked in November 2021, but he was linked with the Everton job.
      Wou about that
      Wout Weghorst was asked a BRUTAL question by a reporter following his wasteful display for the Netherlands.
      The Dutch beat minnows Gibraltar 3-0 in their Euros qualifier in Rotterdam on Monday evening but missed a host of chances during the game.
      Ronald Koeman’s side had a total of 51 SHOTS in the match – 39 of which were off target.
      It was put to Weghorst: “Wout, imagine we would have continued this game for another 48 hours. Would you have scored a goal?”
      To which he diplomatically replied: “Good question. At least I would have had more time. I did my best, but time was up.”

      Into the Den
      Denzel Dumfries has dropped a hint that he will join Manchester United after switching agents.
      The Dutch defender has reportedly dropped his previous representative Rafaela Pimenta and will now be looked after by the Wasserman Group.
      The decision, as reported by Calciomercato.com, comes as Inter Milan plan to cash in on Dumfries this summer.
      The Wasserman Group represents current United stars Alejandro Garnacho and Phil Jones.
      According to Football Italia, the Serie A giants are hoping to sell the 26-year-old for a fee of at least £35million.

      Four Lions
      United Women’s quartet Mary Earps, Maya Le Tissier, Ella Toone and Alessia Russo have all made the England squad.
      The Lionesses play Brazil in the Women’s Finalissima at Wembley on April 6.
      They then meet Australia in a friendly on April 11.
      Le Tissier was not part of the England squad that won the Euros last year, but the other three were.

      Sides such as Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Liverpool and Real Madrid have all been credited with an interest in the midfielder.
      However, they could all be set for disappointment in their pursuit of Bellingham as Dortmund are determined to keep him at Signal Iduna Park.
      According to the German media outlet Bild, Dortmund are hoping to keep hold of him for one more season.
      The club are planning to offer him a new contract that would see his salary increase by 150 per cent up to £13million for the year.

      The outlet also claims that his contract would include a release clause of £131m.
      This would allow the 19-year-old to leave the club to potential buyers while also guaranteeing the Bundesliga side a large transfer fee.
      This means that interested clubs would have to wait another year to sign the former Birmingham City prospect.
      The report suggests that Real Madrid are currently the favourites to sign Bellingham.

      According to The Athletic, there was an indication that PSG were willing to offer the England international a deal worth £400,000 per week.
      This salary would have put Rashford on the same level as Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne and earn more than Erling Haaland and David de Gea, according to Planet Football.
      But the move did not go through and Rashford remained at Man United and has excelled this season.
      He has rediscovered his best form and hit 27 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions.

      Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has previously admitted that he is a big fan of the attacker, whose contract expires in 2024.
      Speaking in December 2022, about a future move for the Red Devils ace, he said: “He’s another player who’s amazing and for free? To have Rashford for free, every club will run after him.
      “Definitely, we spoke before and interest, but the moment was not a good moment for both sides.
      “Maybe summer, why not? If he is a free agent, we can talk to him directly.

      “But we are not going to talk to him now and let him focus on the World Cup.
      “In January, hopefully, we would be interested in talking to him.”
      The Red Devils are keen to keep hold of their former youth academy star and they do have the option to trigger a 12-month extension to his current £200,000-a-week contract.
      Current owners The Glazers have been trying to get him on a new one since early in this campaign.
      But with Man Utd trying to impose a salary cap which sees the top earners get no more than between £200,000 to £300,000 a week, negotiations have stalled. More

      Inside Qatar’s plans to put Man Utd at top of Europe’s biggest multi-club network sharing feeder club with PSG

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could reportedly become a part of the biggest multi-club network in the world if they are taken over by Qatari investors.The Red Devils’ owners the Glazers are considering several bids as they weigh up the possibility of selling the Premier League giants.
      Sheikh Jassim is hoping to take over at Manchester United
      One of the most high-profile offers has come from a group fronted by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani – chairman of the Qatari Islamic Bank and son of the gulf state’s former Prime Minister.
      Qatar Sports Investments already own Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
      They also have a de facto controlling stake in Portuguese outfit Sporting Braga.
      And according to the Daily Record, QSI chairman and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is considering taking control of Malaga – who are in danger of dropping down to the third tier of Spanish football.

      The club have been owned by a subsidiary member of Qatar’s ruling family, Abdullah Al-Thani, since 2010, but have entered judicial administration.
      However, QSI are looking into bringing the team into their sports investment infrastructure in a bid to return them to LaLiga.

      This is part of a plan to create the biggest multi-club network in the sport, with Braga acting as development outfit for Man Utd and PSG.
      It would rival the City Football Group – which Manchester City are a part of alongside the likes of New York City, Melbourne City and Mumbai City FC.
