Arne Slot ‘insists’ on shock move for ex-Man Utd star Greenwood as Liverpool ‘lead’ Barcelona

Liverpool boss Arne Slot believes former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood can ‘become one of the great players in the Premier League’ under his watch and ‘insists’ on a shock move for the 23-year-old. A case against Greenwood of alleged rape and assault was discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service at the start of 2023 after the withdrawal of key witnesses significantly reduced the chance of conviction. Man Utd pulled the plug on his return ahead of the 2023/24 campaign and he joined La Liga side Getafe on loan, contributing eight goals and six assists, before moving to Marseille in a permanent £26m deal ahead of the current campaign. Greenwood is already being linked with another move after five goals and an assist in his first seven games for the Ligue 1 side, with Barcelona...

Greenwood scores twice in 1 minute for Marseille

Brest, who finished third last season and are set to compete in the Champions League, struggled throughout the match. A missed penalty by Romain Del Castillo in t...
