Manchester United have the chance to eliminate two major problems in a transfer as Atalanta is said to be interested in Mason Greenwood.
Man Utd has temporarily suspended Mason Greenwood while they conduct an internal inquiry. The 21-year-old recently made news when rumors surfaced that he would be permitted to rejoin the first squad. However, this choice will undoubtedly not satisfy a lot of individuals.
According to experts, that is equivalent to Man Utd’s brand nightmare. The ability of the England player is undeniable, but there are many other factors that must be considered. Man Utd would want to lend or sell Greenwood.
A recent report could make United consider, helping them solve both problems at the same time. According to Italian media, Atalanta is interested in recruiting Greenwood in the summer transfer window this year.

This move is really too convenient for Man Utd. The reason is that the Daily Mail said that Rasmus Hojlund is also the number one target of the Old Trafford team. According to the Telegraph, Man Utd owners believe they will recruit Hojlund when the striker openly wants to wear the team shirt.
Hojlund himself confirmed: “My goal is to reach the top, and you can say that Man United is that top.” Hojlund has nodded to Man Utd, just waiting for the final price to be approved.

That gives United an opportunity to solve two big problems. It is clear that the Red Devils are hungry for a striker and the only possible candidate they can buy at the moment is the Danish striker. In contrast, Man Utd seems to be difficult to reach Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen.
Man Utd is likewise troubled by the Greenwood issue. The current state of Greenwood is extremely concerning, thus it would probably be best if both parties worked to end the division. This would be the best outcome for everyone involved if Man Utd could use Greenwood as leverage in a trade with Hojlund.
The purchase will ultimately save Man Utd, who has a very limited transfer budget this summer, about £50 million. Man Utd can work out a monetary deal, sell Greenwood outright, or use the proceeds to pay for Hojlund.

It is clear that Greenwood believes it will be challenging for him to reintegrate into the English football scene. Despite the fact that it has been more than 4 months since the announcement to undertake an internal inquiry, Man Utd is unable to decide due to pressure from a variety of sources.
Hojlund, in comparison, is talented and young. Erik ten Hag’s gifted striker can assist in finding a solution to the scoring conundrum. Man Utd must be more proactive in order to avoid interfering with the training schedule for the upcoming campaign.
Greenwood leaving and Hojlund coming is a good prospect for Man United
Greenwood used to be a top young talent in England. However, the private life scandals made this player’s career gradually come to an end. With a team as influential as Man Utd, leaving Greenwood is probably the most reasonable option at the moment.
