Reports suggest that Manchester United will decline Getafe’s offer to extend Mason Greenwood’s loan for another season, opting instead to recall the promising talent and consider his future options internally.
Greenwood’s potential retention at Getafe has been a topic of discussion this summer, but United intends to bring him back to Old Trafford before exploring any permanent transfer possibilities.
On the last day of the summer transfer window, Getafe secured Greenwood on loan for the entire season, believing that his future prospects would benefit from playing away from Old Trafford.
Greenwood has been leading a quiet life in Spain with his partner, Harriet, and their child, born in July this year. During his time with Getafe, he has appeared in 24 La Liga matches, scoring six goals, providing five assists, and creating 23 opportunities.
Reports indicate that top clubs like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have expressed significant interest in Greenwood due to his performances.
United and Getafe have discussed the option of extending Greenwood’s loan for the following season, with Getafe keen on the idea. However, United is reportedly hesitant to agree to another loan deal and would prioritize a permanent transfer if they decide to sell Greenwood.
Although United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not ruled out the possibility of Greenwood being sold, it remains unclear whether a sale will occur. Ratcliffe has indicated that a decision will be made at the appropriate time.
In February, Ratcliffe stated, “We obviously need to make a decision. No decision has been made yet. He’s on loan, but he’s not the only one in that situation. We’ve got one or two football players we need to deal with and make decisions on.”
He emphasized the importance of understanding the facts and making a fair judgment based on values rather than hype.
