Manchester United is considering the possibility of parting ways with Mason Greenwood following his loan spell at Getafe in La Liga. Reports suggest that Greenwood will be excluded from United’s pre-season tour of the United States, indicating a potential departure from the club.
Despite initial discussions about reintegrating the striker after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s interest, United seems hesitant to pursue that avenue. Concerns have arisen within the club about Greenwood’s impact on team dynamics and commercial interests.
Greenwood’s absence from United’s lineup dates back to January 2022, when he faced legal charges, including attempted rape and assault. Although all charges were dropped in February 2023, United conducted an internal investigation and opted to loan Greenwood out to Getafe.
During his time in Spain, Greenwood has performed admirably, tallying eight goals and five assists in 26 matches. However, United’s decision to exclude him from the pre-season tour suggests a reluctance to reintegrate him into the squad permanently.
Club legend Sir Alex Ferguson once touted Greenwood as a future star, praising his composure and goal-scoring prowess. Despite his promising talent, Greenwood’s off-field issues have cast doubt on his future at Old Trafford.
INEOS, United’s new part-owner, will play a pivotal role in determining Greenwood’s future. While the possibility of another loan exists, a permanent transfer seems more likely. Clubs like Getafe, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in signing Greenwood, who remains determined to fulfill his potential wherever he plays next season.
