Roma coach Mourinho in contact with Man Utd striker Greenwood

AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho has made a move for Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood is waiting on news whether he will be brought back by United for preseason.

The forward has had charges dropped for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault. But United are yet to decide whether to keep him.

As United continue to deliberate, Mourinho has made contact with Greenwood's family about a move to Roma.

A source told The Sun: "Jose rang Mason's dad and also spoke with Mason. He told him the best way out of his current situation is to start playing football — and that eventually all the hassle will fade away.

"Mason was pleased that he got in touch and it has lifted his spirits.

"He wants to get back playing and is just waiting for United to tell him what the future holds."
