Forward has one senior capImpressed on loan at GetafeLinked with clubs across EuropeWHAT HAPPENED?
The 22-year-old winger has earned one senior cap for his country – with his Three Lions debut made off the bench in a Nations League clash with Iceland back in September 2020. He was removed from that squad following a breach of Covid protocols and has not been selected since.

Greenwood spent 19 months out of action following his arrest in January 2022 on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour. Those charges were dropped in February 2023, but United were only able to sanction a loan move in the summer transfer window of that year.
WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID
Greenwood impressed after linking up with Getafe, scoring 10 goals, and is now being linked with clubs across Europe. Former United and England striker Sheringham has told when speaking on behalf of TG Casino when asked if an international recall could happen: “It'd be interesting to see if he does really well at Juventus and starts getting back into the England fold. Whether he will get picked again, that'll be a big question mark. We'll have to wait and see.”

Juve are considered to be leading the race for Greenwood, but the likes of Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Atletico Madrid are also in the mix. Sheringham expects a sale to be sanctioned at some stage, adding on the forward’s future at club level: “I do [think it'd be best for all parties if he was sold]. With what's gone on with Mason, it would've been very hard for him to come back to United and play there. I think there would've been a bit of uproar. So for him to be playing abroad, not keeping a low profile but keeping a low profile in English football, I think it's the best idea.”
