Atalanta target Greenwood loan deal from Man United

The Serie A side has held talks with Manchester United football director John Murtough over a possible deal to sign striker Rasmus Hojlund, with the loan of Greenwood also discussed.

United are believed to be open to loaning Greenwood with boss Erik ten Hag preferring not to sell the 21-year-old.

However, the Red Devils have not yet made a final decision on whether or not to let Greenwood leave for the Italian side.

The forward is contracted to Manchester United until 2025 and the club have the option of an additional year.

In February, Greater Manchester Police stated Greenwood 'no longer faces criminal proceedings'.

The forward had been charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.

However, the Crown Prosecution Service later dropped all charges against the player, with United conducting their own process.

United have been unsure on what course of action to take over Greenwood over the past few months but expect to find a final outcome before the start of the season.

Greenwood joined Manchester United aged six and progressed through the academy ranks at the club.
