It is clear that Mourinho, who managed United when Greenwood was in the academy following two previous spells at Chelsea, does not want to be associated with the former England international following the allegations leveled against him.
Roma are looking to sign a striker before the transfer window closes after losing Tammy Abraham to a serious knee injury at the end of last season.
The ex-Chelsea star is not expected to return until 2024, leaving Roma with no options up front.
Andrea Belotti started in attack for Roma’s opening game of the season on Sunday, scoring twice in a 2-2 draw with Salernitana, but he failed to score a single goal in Serie A last season, and Mourinho may have it feeling that he cannot rely on him. an entire campaign.
Meanwhile, Greenwood will now probably have to look elsewhere for his next move.
He could get a fresh start from Saudi side Al-Ettifaq, who are reportedly considering offering him a £10 million a year contract.
A move to the Saudi club would see him join Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in the Middle East.
Multiple Turkish clubs, including Galatasaray, are also eyeing Greenwood as he prepares for his return to football.
