  • Mason Greenwood has not played for Manchester United since January 2022, when he was suspended
  • The striker's suspension came after he was arrested to face a number of charges, including assault
  • Greenwood has previously been linked with a possible summer exit, with Roma among the clubs he has been linked with

Embattled Manchester United striker, Mason Greenwood is reportedly desperate to stay at the club despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at Old Trafford.

The youngster has not kicked a ball for more than a year and a half now after he was suspended by United following his arrest back in January 2022.

At the time, The Mirror reports that Greenwood was facing a string of charges, including assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.

While the charges have since been dropped and left the Englishman off the hook, United are yet to reintegrate the forward into the squad.

The 21-year-old has gone on to be linked with a possible exit this summer, with Serie A side AS Roma initially believed to be keen on his services.

Greenwood wants Man United stay

However, fresh reports indicate that Greenwood is desperate to remain at Old Trafford as he bids to reignite his football career.

The Sun, citing sources close to the football star, says that Greenwood has indicated to his close pals that he has 'learned so much'.

"He’s being encouraged to speak publicly and to have his voice heard," the source divulged.
"But, privately, he has told those close to him that he has learned a huge amount.
"He became a father for the first time earlier this month and realises he has to grow up," the source added.

Man United drop Greenwood shirts

Sports Brief also reported on Manchester United’s decision to drop Mason Greenwood’s shirts from their official kit launch for the 2023/24 season.

This means supporters will not be able to get a shirt with Greenwood's name on the back after it was omitted from the launch.

All other names from the senior men's and women's sides are available, but Greenwood is not included.
