Manchester United 'change Mason Greenwood contract plans'

Manchester United put plans for a new contract for Mason Greenwood on hold amid concerns over the striker's off-the-field behaviour, according to a report.

Manchester United have reportedly paused plans to offer Mason Greenwood a new contract following questions over the youngster's activities off the pitch.

Greenwood has proven his capabilities on the field with 19 goals to his name in a United shirt, but the striker has come under fire after being sent home from the England camp in Iceland after breaching COVID-19 protocols with Phil Foden.

Foden has since regained the trust of manager Gareth Southgate and has been included in the England squad for November's fixtures, but Greenwood was left out - reportedly amid fresh concerns over his discipline.

The Athletic claim that United chiefs are concerned that Greenwood is not taking the best care of his health off the pitch - with fears arising that the teenager is sleep-deprived - and the Red Devils are reluctant to offer him a new contract at this moment in time.

The report also suggests that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer phoned Southgate informing the England manager that he did not want Greenwood to be selected for this round of international matches, and United believe that the 19-year-old may not be following the rules of limiting contact outside of his social bubble.

Greenwood did not play a part in United's 3-1 win over Everton, and the Englishman is yet to get off the mark in the current Premier League campaign.
