The Red Devils initially wanted to bring Greenwood back into the fold, before performing a U-turn following a negative public reaction.

A handful of English clubs have since enquired about the forward, only to pull out due to a potential backlash.

Should Greenwood, 21, sign for Besiktas, he would link up with a number of familiar faces for fans of the Premier League.

Most notably the Turkish side have former Liverpool and Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The midfielder signed a three-year deal with Besiktas earlier this month, following his Reds release at the end of last season.

Besiktas have another Premier League winner among their ranks in Daniel Amartey.

The Ghanaian made 145 appearances for Leicester after signing in January 2016, leaving earlier this year to join the Turkish side.

In doing so he joined up with former Foxes team-mate Rachid Ghezzal, who moved to the King Power Stadium in 2018 as Riyad Mahrez's replacement.
