Manchester United will be looking to sell a host of players this summer in order to fund a rebuild, now contact has been made over one.
The weaknesses within Manchester United‘s squad are pretty obvious right now, and a strong summer transfer window will be pivotal in overhauling the squad.
With at least four positions needing heavy recruitment, it’s also thought that departures will be on the cards in order to fund the signings.
Already it seems like Raphael Varane who is certainly gone, along with Anthony Martial, Casemiro and more will be either released or sold. Now one player that United are keen to see leave Old Trafford has had an approach.
Napoli make their approach for Mason Greenwood
Despite an impressive 10-goal campaign for Getafe in La Liga, Mason Greenwood is thought to have no way back at United, which makes a permanent sale this summer imminent.
Now, The Athletic has reported that Napoli has made contact with United over a possible deal to sign the £50m valued forward in the upcoming transfer window.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the likes of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in recent weeks and is thought to have quite a few options this summer.
One of which is to remain at Getafe on loan for another year, with his manager there Jose Bordalas keen for talks over his future.
There is also a chance that he sees his contract extended at United, with the club having an option for an extra year, something which would be seen as a sensible move.
How will Manchester United’s right-wing options look in September
With Greenwood being lauded as being a ‘little genius’ for his performances this season in Spain, United will want a hefty fee.
But this isn’t the only reason, as Old Trafford eyes are already firmly fixed on strengthening the right wing this summer.
With Antony out of favour and another loan or sale likely for Jadon Sancho as well, Michael Olise could well become a realistic proposition for the club.
This would see Olise and Amad Diallo as the two options fighting it out for the starting berth at United on the right. Not too bad, considering what we’ve had the past 18 months.
