Juventus offered Mason Greenwood and his family ‘life-changing amounts of money’ to leave Manchester United in 2019, according to the Athletic.
The teenager has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford, scoring 15 goals in all competitions and establishing himself as a first team player at the age of 18.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during the weekend described Greenwood as the best finisher he’s worked with after the striker’s brace against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Greenwood signed a four-year deal in October 2019 at Old Trafford but his potential was known across Europe and Andy Mitten claims Juventus offered the teenager a huge contract to move to Turin last year.
Greenwood is expected to start against Aston Villa on Thursday as United seek to capitalise on Leicester City’s draw against Arsenal.
Ole’s men can move to within one point of the Foxes, who have won just one Premier League game since the restart.
Aston Villa held United to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford earlier this season and they’re fighting to survive relegation.
