Mason Greenwood is hoping to stay with Getafe for another season, according to club president Angel Torres, who also stated that he does not anticipate the forward returning to parent club Manchester United at the end of the current campaign.
The 22-year-old went on loan to Getafe in September after United stated they didn’t want him to cause trouble, even though all criminal proceedings against him were withdrawn in response to Greenwood’s denials of assault and attempted rape.
For Getafe, who are now tenth in La Liga, he has made 32 appearances in all competitions and scored 10 goals.
“I believe he would stay for another year if it were up to the boy, his parents, and the club (Getafe),” Torres stated to Radio Marca on Tuesday.
However, the information we have about Manchester United from last week, when the sports director of Getafe visited England to see some games and was with them, indicates that they would want to sell if a strong offer were to come along because he would not be returning.
“We’ll have to hold off until June’s end… Both the team and the coach are quite pleased with him. He’s probably going to stick around for at least another season, if not until January. He plays football well.”
In February, United’s recently appointed co-owner Jim Ratcliffe stated that the team had not yet decided what to do with Greenwood’s future. Meanwhile, La Liga president Javier Tebas expressed his hope that the forward would stay in Spain longer.
