Mason Greenwood has now been linked with a move to a European giant in a swap deal that would see Manchester United sign an international star in exchange.

It is understood that LALIGA side Atletico Madrid are eager to sign the 22-year-old, who recently confirmed his departure from Spanish minnows Getafe.
The one-time England international spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Los Azulones, and leaves after contributing to 16 goals in 36 matches.
Ahead of his return to United, the Daily Star claims Atleti have offered Portuguese midfielder Joao Felix to the Red Devils in an exchange deal for Greenwood.
The Portugal international has spent the past season and a half out on loan at Chelsea and at Barcelona, having struggled to cement a regular spot in Diego Simeone's side.
Despite Felix having admitted he would love to continue at the Catalan club permanently, the Spanish club's financial situation means it is improbable that they will meet Atletico's asking price.
The 24-year-old became Los Rojiblancos' fourth-most expensive signing in history when he completed a switch from Benfica in 2019 for €113 million (R2.2 billion).
United are believed to be weighing up whether or not Felix is an appropriate fit for their plans.
