Manchester United have made a U-turn about offering Mason Greenwood a lucrative new contract.
They wanted to reward him for an impressive start to his Old Trafford career last season, but have had a change of mind because of his poor training performances, whilst he has also turned up late for practice sessions several times.
After a breakthrough campaign last term, he has struggled this season and has scored just twice. He was left out of the United squad completely for the trip to Everton, ostensibly because he was ill. However, inside sources insist it was more to do with his off-the-field issues.
Greenwood’s exclusion from Gareth Southgate’s England plans are continues. He and Phil Foden were both sent home in disgrace after making their international debuts for England against Iceland in September for breaching the bio-secure bubble at the team’s hotel. But whilst Foden has since been rehabilitated back into the squad, Greenwood remains out in the cold.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
