Is Rossi returning to Man United? Five key things to know…
- Giuseppe Rossi scored four goals in 14 appearances for the Red Devils between 2004 and 2006.
- Since then, the forward has played for various clubs in England, Italy and Spain, scoring 128 goals at club level.

“We’re not going to sign Giuseppe I think, no, but he’s trained well with us,” revealed Solskjaer to the club’s website, before he further explained how Sir Alex Ferguson has been impressed by his finishing.
He added: “He looks sharp, he’s looking for a club so Giuseppe is probably going to stay with us for another week, unless someone takes him.
“He scored a fantastic goal yesterday [Saturday] in training. The gaffer [Sir Alex Ferguson] turned around and said ‘what about that son?’
“It’s a bit of us helping him to get fit before his next move, so if there are any takers you should be quick!”
