Mason Greenwood has not been given a shirt number at Manchester United ahead of the new Premier League season. The 21-year-old is still waiting to discover what the future holds for him at Old Trafford, with an official announcement expected to be made in due course
Greenwood’s profile still appears on the United website but he has not been included on their list of provisional squad numbers, which was released on Thursday. However, no player has been given the No 11 shirt worn by Greenwood prior to his suspension, which suggests that an imminent return to the squad is not out of the question.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Marco Verratti after the Italian midfielder shunned a move to Saudi Arabia. According to Footmercato, the Blues are mulling over a move for Verratti. Moreover, the midfielder is no longer inclined towards the Middle East and is looking to stay in Europe. This shift in stance has captured the attention of Chelsea, who are now showing interest in acquiring the experienced player to fortify their midfield.
