Mason Greenwood “will not return to Manchester United”, Getafe president says

Manchester United will look to sell Mason Greenwood this summer after his loan spell at Getafe, the Spanish club have confirmed.

Greenwood has been on loan with Getafe this season after United agreed to resume his career away from Old Trafford following a six-month investigation into his conduct. The charges, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped, but United said they “recognise the difficulties in resuming his career” at the club.

The 22-year-old has featured regularly this season, scoring 10 goals in 29 starts, underscoring his market value to United, who have told Getafe they will look to sell the player rather than brings him back to the club.

Getafe are keen on another loan move for Greenwood as they are restricted by financial regulations on spending.

“If it was up to the lad, his parents and the club (Getafe), I think he would continue for another year,” club president Ángel Torres said. Radio Marca In Spain. “But as far as Manchester (United), the news we have from last week when the (Getafe) sporting director went to England to watch some games and was with them, is that if a good offer comes, would like to sell because he has no intention of going back there (to Manchester).

“We will have to wait until the end of June. The family and the player are very comfortable and very happy here with our fans. When he came here, he hadn’t played in 16 months. He recovered his form, scored eight goals in the league and two in the Copa (del Rey). The people and the coach are very happy with him. I think he will stay with us for another season, or at least until January. He is a good footballer.”

Telegraph Sports reported in February that Greenwood was on the striker shortlist at Atlético Madrid, although Torres says he is only aware of interest from Barcelona. Jadon Sancho has also been out on loan after being left out of Erik ten Hag’s first team squad.
