Mason Greenwood, presently on loan at Getafe from Manchester United, has played a pivotal role in Getafe’s ascent into the top half of La Liga during his season-long loan. Despite increasing transfer speculations, Getafe President Angel Corres is resolute about keeping the forward beyond the loan period.
Initially expected to be part of Manchester United’s plans this season under Ten Hag, Greenwood’s situation changed due to a combination of internal and external factors. Since joining Getafe, he has been gradually rediscovering his form, contributing four goals and three assists in his initial 13 appearances. His performances have garnered interest from several European clubs, including Lazio and Real Sociedad.
Greenwood’s move to Spain unfolded on transfer deadline day following a reversal by then-Chief Executive Richard Arnold, who decided against reintegrating him into Erik ten Hag’s squad. Despite reportedly enjoying his time in Madrid, Getafe is keen on extending Greenwood’s stay beyond the upcoming summer.
President Corres has articulated the club’s desire not only to prolong Greenwood’s loan but also to secure his permanent signing. However, reports suggest that Manchester United is steadfast in supporting Greenwood’s career elsewhere instead of providing an opportunity at Old Trafford.
Greenwood is contracted to Manchester United until 2025, but uncertainties arise following Arnold’s recent departure, raising questions about whether a new sporting department led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe will adopt a different stance.
Despite Getafe’s interest in retaining Greenwood, Manchester United aims to secure a transfer fee for his signature, with two more transfer windows available after his loan spell at Getafe.
While content in Spain, Greenwood’s appeal from clubs participating regularly in European tournaments might sway his future as he endeavors to recapture his previous form before his arrest in January 2022.
