“I want him…Erik ten Hag has ‘made Mason Greenwood feelings clear’ amid Man Utd ‘return decision’

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has already made his stance on Mason Greenwood’s potential return clear as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS prepare to decide on his future, according to reports. Greenwood will return to United this summer before one of three likely outcomes, and Ten Hag has named his preferred path.

The 22-year-old forward hasn’t played for United since January 2022, when he was arrested before he was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, all of which he denied.

In February last year, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges due to the ‘withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light’.

And after a six-month club investigation, then-chief executive Richard Arnold reportedly informed United staff of his plans to reintegrate Greenwood into the first-team squad this season.

However, internal and external backlash about the academy graduate’s planned return forced a change of heart. Greenwood was subsequently hurried out of the exit door on deadline day, joining Getafe on loan.

He has caught the eye while restarting his career in Spain, registering five goals and four assists in 17 appearances for Getafe.

Greenwood’s exploits have reportedly attracted transfer interest from La Liga’s biggest clubs, including Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But it has also raised the question of whether United’s new sporting structure will follow through with Arnold’s initial plan to give Greenwood a second chance at Old Trafford.

This summer, United will either make the controversial decision to sanction their former No 11’s return, generate a transfer fee by selling him on a permanent basis, or loan him out again and let him leave for free in 2025.

Reports suggest that Ratcliffe and INEOS won’t commit to any decision until later this season when the Premier League has ratified the minority investment and they officially take control of the club’s football operations.

Ten Hag would, according to previous reports, prefer the first option based on his alleged desire when United pondered his future last year.

It was claimed that football director John Murtough shared the same stance at the conclusion of the investigation, from which Arnold said he was “satisfied” Greenwood wasn’t guilty of the accusations.

Ten Hag is yet to work with Greenwood, having arrived after the player’s arrest when Ralf Rangnick was interim boss.

United have never denied his reported stance, and the promising glimpses the Bradford-born forward has shown at Getafe are unlikely to have changed the Dutchman’s mind about a possible return.

NEW YORK JETS -Insider Claims Aaron Rodgers Could Betray Jets, Sign Deal With AFC Powerhouse

NEW YORK JETS -Insider Claims Aaron Rodgers Could Betray Jets, Sign Deal With AFC Powerhouse

If Aaron Rodgers opts to betray the New York Jets in free agency, could he opt to sign with Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers?

The New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers seemed like a match made in heaven, especially after the Jets went out and acquired wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders.

But nothing ever completely clicked for the Jets during Rodgers’ two-year tenure with the franchise. After an injury-riddled 2023 season, Rodgers and the Jets finished 5-12 in 2024. After such a sour season, both sides could be looking to part ways this offseason.

Legendary sportswriter Peter King recently suggested Rodgers could betray the Jets and sign elsewhere. King made the connection to the Mike Tomlin-led Pittsburgh Steelers on an episode of the Let’s Go! podcast.

“I think we have seen Russell Wilson hit a wall,” King said. “Whether Mike Tomlin is even thinking about, I’m sure he’s not right now, thinking about 2025. They got a playoff game coming up, but if I were the Pittsburgh Steelers, knowing that I’ve got Cam Heyward, TJ Watt, I’ve got guys on defense with their expiration dates not long in the future. I would want to come in and try to get a quarterback who can make me competitive with Baltimore and Cincinnati in 2025. That guy to me would be Aaron Rodgers.”

Rodgers could sign for around $25 million after his 2024 campaign. Pittsburgh could certainly afford that price.

Coach Tomlin has two starting quarterbacks on his roster, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, but both signal-callers are free agents at the end of the season. There’s a chance the Steelers don’t retain either guy.

Pittsburgh’s best two players, T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward, are on the older side and the Super Bowl window seems to be closing in Pittsburgh. Adding a quarterback like Rodgers to lead the young offense could be exactly what the Steelers need.

It would be like having Wilson with more experience and a higher ceiling.

London calling (again): NY Jets to host regular season game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025

London calling (again): NY Jets to host regular season game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025,

 

London’s calling again for the New York Jets in 2025.

For the third time in the last five seasons, the Jets are returning back across the pond to play another home game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England.

Gang Green is one of three teams — the two others being the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars — who will each play international games in London in 2025.

The Jets and Vikings met in London last October, with Minnesota staying a perfect 5-0 following a 23-17 win from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The loss ended up being a notable breaking point for the Jets, who ended up firing head coach Robert Saleh less than 48 hours after the game.

Once Saleh was out the door, Gang Green went straight into a nose dive, losing nine of their final 12 games of the season, while also firing general manager Joe Douglas in the process back in mid-November.

The Jets are aiming for their second win in four tries in England, with their first victory coming back in 2015 when they defeated fellow AFC East opponent, the Miami Dolphins, 27-14 from Wembley Stadium.

“We are excited to bring the unique and entertaining atmosphere of a New York Jets home game to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games,” Jets president Hymie Elhai said in a statement.

“It is another great opportunity for our organization to build upon our brand and fandom in the U.K. which we have enjoyed cultivating the last few years. The success of the NFL’s international games speaks directly to the sport’s increasing global reach, and we are proud to continue as ambassadors of the game.”

With the Jets opponents being officially announced for the 2025 season, their opponent in this matchup can be one of nine teams: either their AFC East counterparts — Bills, Dolphins or Patriots — or versus the Browns, Steelers, Falcons, Panthers, Broncos or Cowboys.

2024: Vikings 23, Jets 17 from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

2021: Falcons 27, Jets 20 from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

BREAKING: Aaron Rodgers in High-Tension Turnaround, Targeting a Shocking $25M Deal with AFC Titans, Fanning Jets’ Betrayal Flames

 

The NFL world is abuzz with rumors swirling around Aaron Rodgers and a potential seismic shift in his career trajectory.

The quarterback maestro, previously associated with the New York Jets, is now reportedly eyeing a staggering $25 million deal with the AFC powerhouse, the Tennessee Titans.

This sudden twist in Rodgers’ narrative has set tongues wagging and hearts racing as fans speculate on the implications of this potential move. It seems betrayal is in the air, fanning the flames of intrigue and uncertainty.

The New York Jets appeared to have struck gold when they acquired the formidable Davante Adams to complement Aaron Rodgers on the field. The duo created a flutter of excitement among fans, anticipating a renaissance for the Jets.

Alas, fate had other plans as injuries plagued Rodgers during the 2023 season, culminating in a lackluster 2024 campaign that left the Jets floundering with a 5-12 record.

The once-promising partnership between Rodgers and the Jets now appears to be on shaky ground, hinting at an imminent separation.

King’s musings on a podcast hinted at a plausible scenario where Rodgers could pivot towards the Pittsburgh Steelers, under the seasoned guidance of Mike Tomlin.

Aiming to fortify their roster and stay competitive in the AFC North, the Steelers could be eyeing Rodgers as the missing piece in their championship puzzle. With key defensive stalwarts facing the twilight of their careers, the prospect of Rodgers donning the black and gold has ignited fervent discussions among NFL aficionados.

In a strategic chess move, Coach Tomlin finds himself at a crossroads with two seasoned quarterbacks, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, both on the brink of free agency.

The impending departures of these signal-callers have opened up a glaring chasm in the quarterback department for the Steelers. With the window of opportunity for a Super Bowl run gradually inching shut, the urgency to secure a leader of Rodgers’ caliber becomes paramount.

Rodgers’ potential arrival could herald a new era for the Steelers, injecting vigor and experience into a budding offense eager to make its mark on the league stage
