He is attracting interest from across Europe, with the likes of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid said to be monitoring Greenwood’s situation. A shock return to the Premier League has also been mooted, although Marseille are understandably reluctant to sell.

For now, Greenwood is working on staying sharp during the summer break. He has been back in Manchester, with pictures posted on social media of him working with ex-United colleague D’Mani Mellor - a fellow graduate of the Red Devils’ famed academy system.

They have been working on the new 3G pitch that has been installed at Chadderton FC - a North West Counties Football League Premier Division side that are based in Oldham. Sprinting and shooting drills have been taken in.

WHAT NEXT FOR GREENWOOD?

Greenwood will return to France for pre-season if no sale is sanctioned during the latest transfer window, with his contract at Stade Velodrome running until 2029. The one-cap England international is in the process of trying to switch allegiance to Jamaica, allowing him to join the Reggae Boyz in their bid to reach the 2026 World Cup.
