Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has invited the ex-Italy international back to the club where he first got his real start in football almost two decades ago
Once touted as one of the most promising young players of his generation in Italy and pegged as a rising star when he was part of Manchester United's talented youth academy, Giuseppe Rossi's career eventually became derailed by a string of unfortunate injuries that continued to plague his playing career – and his reputation as a star to watch.
Having made just 14 appearances in all competitions under Sir Alex Ferguson from 2004 to 2007, the New Jersey-born former Italy international failed to break through to the Red Devils first team, and made a permanent switch to Villarreal in search of regular starting XI opportunities.
