“Barca are about to do what they have never done before to lure Mason to Camp Nou but Manchester United reaction to the rumour gave Manchester United fans the answers they wanted with Erik ten Hag latest comments
It has been reported that Mason Greenwood has been offered Lionel Messi’s renowned number 10 shirt at Barcelona.With five goals and four assists on his summer loan from Manchester United, Greenwood has helped Getafe rise to seventh place in the La Liga rankings.And according to the Sun, Barcelona is planning a £40 million bid of its own for the forward after sending scouts to watch him in a 3-0 win over Sevilla, a 1-0 home win against Valencia, and a 3-3 draw with Atletico Madrid. Getafe wants to sign the 22-year-old permanently.In addition, the Catalan powerhouses are reportedly prepared to offer Greenwood the historic number 10 shirt as a persuasive inducement to join the Nou Camp.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, who notably wore Barcelona’s number 10 shirt, departed the team in August 2021 after making 778 appearances, scoring 672 goals, and dishing out 303 assists.
The shirt was later given by Barcelona to academy product Ansu Fati, but it hasn’t had an owner since the South African international moved on loan to Brighton & Hove Albion this summer.After United determined that the player had no future at the club, Greenwood is resuming his career in Spain.
Following the withdrawal of a crucial witness and the discovery of fresh information, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges of attempted murder, coercive behaviour, and assault resulting in actual bodily harm against the striker in February.After an internal investigation by United, it was ultimately “mutually” decided that Greenwood’s career would be best served by continuing it outside of Old Trafford.While Mason did not commit the charges for which he was first charged, United stated once their investigation was complete. Greenwood has consistently refuted the accusations.
