Mason Greenwood's future has not yet been decided by Man United.
Greenwood was detained by Greater Manchester Police for attempted rape, coercive behavior, and violence after a woman made charges against him last year. However, the English striker, who has been suspended by United for almost a year, now faces an uncertain future after having all accusations brought against him dropped earlier this year.
Having no restrictions on his employment, Greenwood was recently seen by The Sun working on a private training field.
The Red Devils now have to determine if it would be preferable to bring the 21-year-old back into their senior squad, go on loan, or make a permanent transfer.
Leading transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the Red Devils' decision-makers are still conducting their own internal inquiry and have not yet made a definitive choice regarding the forward's future in response to the rumors surrounding the United academy product.
“The striker was recently pictured putting in some work on a training pitch, and of course, a lot of fans want to know what Man United have planned for him,” Romano wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside column.
“Unfortunately, I cannot provide much information and this is because the club are still conducting an internal investigation; there are still discussions ongoing. A final decision has not been made yet, but when one has, the club will formally communicate it. Anything else right now is purely speculation.”
Transfer update
The Blues player, who only has a year left on his current Stamford Bridge contract, appears to have been priced entirely out of the Red Devils' pursuit.
The Daily Mirror claims that the Stamford Bridge team is standing by their £65 million value of the England player and that United is now prepared to walk away after having another bid of £55 million flatly rejected.
And now, according to a report in The Times, Erik ten Hag is prepared to make Brighton star Caicedo his main target instead, even if the Seagulls want £15 million more for the Ecuadorian than United are prepared to pay for Mount.
Chelsea has had Caicedo on its radar for a while now after Arsenal's failed attempt to acquire the midfielder in January.
Despite the fact that the Blues star is a more offensive player than the more box-to-box 21-year-old, he is being evaluated as Mount's replacement.
Caicedo signed a new contract after the failure of his move to north London, although it is anticipated that he will leave The Amex this summer.
And even if the Gunners are still interested in a move, they are still primarily focused on outbidding Manchester City for Declan Rice.
Although it's rumored that the Brighton man prefers to stay in the south and establish a base in the capital instead, Liverpool are also outsiders to land the player.
However, in order for Chelsea to sign Caicedo, it is believed that they must first sell Mount for FFP considerations. However, United may be about to scuttle the entire trade by attempting to sign the Seagulls star above the latter.
After losing N'Golo Kante and Matteo Kovacic, the Blues are in severe need of new midfield additions, and several other elite Stamford Bridge players are anticipated to go this summer as part of a significant reorganization under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
As for United, Ten Hag is aware that, given the fact that both Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are on the verge of 30, he needs to make an effort to assemble a more youthful engine room at Old Trafford.
The Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that the 28-year-old Rabiot is anticipated to sign a contract extension with the Bianconeri despite the Dutchman's efforts to bring the Juventus star on board.
However, it looks that they may now be prepared to place all of their eggs in the Caicedo basket, putting an end to Chelsea's chase and sending the Blues a strong message on how they have handled the ongoing Mount saga.
