Barcelona willing to offer Manchester United outcast No.10 shirt ahead of £40m bid
Greenwood is currently on loan at Getafe after United approved the deal in the final hour of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has not played for United since his arrest in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault.
The charges against Greenwood were dropped in February but following an internal investigation, United concluded that the forward needed to rebuild his career away from Old Trafford.

Greenwood is now thriving on loan at Getafe, scoring three goals and registering four assists in 14 La Liga appearances this season.
Barcelona have been closely monitoring Greenwood’s performances and according to The Sun, the Spanish champions are preparing a £40 million move for next summer.
The report claims that as a major incentive, Barca are willing to offer Greenwood their iconic No.10 shirt which was worn during Lionel Messi’s prime era at Camp Nou.
It’s understood that Greenwood is open to staying in Spain beyond the end of the season and would be willing to join Barcelona.
Xavi’s side currently sit fourth in La Liga, seven points behind Real Madrid and Girona.

Onana the Hero: Fans can’t believe what Southampton did seconds before penalty vs Man Utd
Onana the Hero: Fans can’t believe what Southampton did seconds before penalty vs Man Utd
Fans were left confused after seeing what Southampton players did before their missed penalty against Manchester United.
The Saints were given an opportunity to take the lead at St Mary’s on 32 minutes after debutant Tyler Dibling was brought down in the area by Diogo Dalot.
Cameron Archer stepped up to take the spot kick, but Andre Onana got down well to his right to keep it out.
United then cleared, and scored themselves just two minutes later through defender Matthijs de Ligt.
It was therefore a nightmare passage of play for Russell Martin’s side as they look to register their first point in the Premier League season.
Marcus Rashford then made it 2-0 before half-time with a curling 25-yard finish with his right foot.
But prior to the missed penalty, fans were surprised at what Southampton chose to do.
Ben Brereton Diaz looked as if he was about to take the penalty, but stepped back and allowed Archer to take it instead.
There was then a significant wait before the penalty was taken, with Archer missing from 12 yards.

A brilliant chance for Southampton to take the lead early on 🫣

“They want me out of the club but i am determined to stay at Man United and fight for his place with £375k-a-week midfielder to REJECT any offers to move to Turkey
“They want me out of the club but i am determined to stay at Man United and fight for his place with £375k-a-week midfielder to REJECT any offers to move to Turkey
Casemiro is determined to fight for his place at Manchester United and will reject any offers to sign for Galatasaray before the transfer window closes in Turkey next week.
The Istanbul club are weighing up a move for the Brazil midfielder who was substituted at half-time in United’s defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday after his mistakes led to two goals by Luis Diaz
It was the latest setback for Casemiro whose form has dipped since an outstanding first season at United following his £70million move from Real Madrid in 2022.
The 32-year-old has been left out of Brazil’s squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
His place at United is under threat from Manuel Ugarte after the Uruguayan arrived in a £50.5millon deal from Paris Saint-Germain last week, but it’s understood that Casemiro has no interest in leaving Old Trafford at the moment.
He is the club’s top earner on £375,000-a-week and it’s unlikely Galatasaray, who have until a week on Friday to make a move before the Turkish deadline, could afford his wages.
United are expecting Casemiro back in training after the international break to prepare for their next game against Southampton.
The club have been open to offers for the five-time Champions League winner, and former football director John Murtough travelled to Saudi Arabia in December to gauge the level of interest.
However, there were no bids before the Saudi Pro League window closed on Monday night.

VAR told they made ‘baffling’ error during Liverpool’s win over Man United as former striker hits out at decision at Old Trafford
VAR told they made ‘baffling’ error during Liverpool’s win over Man United as former striker hits out at decision at Old Trafford
The VAR for Liverpool’s 3-0 dismantling of Man United on Sunday has been told that they made a ‘baffling’ mistake.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot made it three wins from three as his side cruised to a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Luis Diaz netted twice before Mo Salah sealed the three points with a crisp finish as Erik ten Hag found himself back under huge pressure once again.
And it could have been more if an incident during the second half had been reviewed.
United new boy Noussair Mazraoui appeared to catch Cody Gakpo from behind in the area but referee Anthony Taylor played the advantage which resulted in Darwin Nunez shooting wide.
Replays showed the challenge was made in the area and former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor believes VAR should have stepped in to award the penalty.
VAR John Brooks and assistant Harry Lennard did not review it and Mellor was left baffled
He tweeted two images to justify his thoughts, writing: ‘referee sees foul on Gakpo and indicates advantage… Nunez shoots wide,’ Mellor wrote.
‘Contact was inside the area… so why hasn’t VAR told him he was right and contact in area so should be a pen? Baffling decision.’
The decision had little impact on the result with United well beaten by their rivals on the day.
