Fabio Capello ‘urges Juventus to sign Man United’s Mason Greenwood’… as a question mark hangs over his future at Old Trafford after successful Getafe loan

Former England boss Fabio Capello has urged Juventus to sign Mason Greenwood this summer as one of several new signings to help them compete with Inter Milan.

Capello, 77, has seen his former club Juventus trail 20 points behind Serie A’s runaway leaders Inter this term, and they will struggle to match other European heavyweights in a financial battle for top players, so they must find another way.

He has named Greenwood – who is on loan at Getafe from Manchester United this season – among the names that the Italian club should seek in the transfer window.

Capello told Gazzetta: ‘I’ve heard about Greenwood. A Manchester United talent who has been affected by personal issues, but seems reborn at Getafe. There are no doubts about his qualities.’

Several Premier League football clubs have also expressed an interest in signing exiled Man United forward Mason Greenwood, as revealed in Mike Keegan’s latest Mail+ article.

The INEOS CEO had previously left the door open over a possible return, despite indications from the club that he would not play for United again. 

Greenwood’s deal also includes a clause that allows Erik ten Hag’s side to extend his stay at Old Trafford for another 12 months.
