A CHAMPIONS League team has been “making inquiries” aboutpotentially signing Mason Greenwood.

Greenwood, 21, hasn't played for his current club Manchester United since his arrest in January 2022.

The striker had attempted rape charges against him dropped earlier this month but his team is carrying out its own investigation.

He will remain suspended until the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season, according to reports.

All charges against the footballer, including attempted rape, actual bodily harm and coercive or controlling behaviour, were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service earlier this month.

It came after 12 witnesses, including the woman at the centre of the allegations, refused to co-operate.

And now it’s been revealed as a Turkish team which joined the Champions League last year have shown interest in signing the striker.

Istanbul’s Fenerbahce United have been “making inquiries” about the star, who has previously said he would like to play abroad.

Greenwood, who earns around £100,000 a week and is contracted until 2025, is still unable to play for United or train while the Red Devils carry out an internal probe.

This is said to involve interviews to get his version of events and checks on his physical and mental health.

Manager Erik Ten Hag hopes this process will be complete before the summer but it cannot be confirmed, it is understood.

Prior to his arrest, Greenwood was valued at around £50million and regarded as one of European football’s hottest young talents.

But United's women's players reportedly don't want him to return to the club.

According to reports in The Athletic, "the feeling is strong" amongst the team that he should be let go – and is shared by some in the men's dressing room.

Fans are also said to be uncertain about his return.

Greenwood, who was dropped from a multi-million pound boot deal by Nike following his arrest, has made 129 appearances for United, scoring 35 goals and winning one England cap.
