Getafe ‘are keen to speak with Man United and make an offer for Mason Greenwood’… as loanee finds form in Spain following exile from Old Trafford after attempted rape and assault allegations

Getafe are reportedly keen on turning Mason Greenwood‘s loan into a permanent deal. 

The outcast Manchester United forward has scored three goals in ten games for the mid-table La Liga side. 

The Sun reports that Getafe executives want to negotiate with the Red Devils about a transfer or an extended loan. 

A source told the newspaper: ‘Getafe have discussed trying to get United round the table so they can make an offer, which they believe could be attractive to United to get Mason off their wage bill.

‘The likelier option is United agree for the loan to be extended as they know that Mason is happy and rebuilding his life.’

Charges including attempted rape and assault against Greenwood were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and suspended on full pay by Man United after charges of alleged rape and assault were made against him. 

Those charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February, however, after ‘key witnesses’ withdrew their involvement.

In August, after conducting a drawn-out internal investigation, the club decided that he would not play for them as they were prioritising the ‘welfare, wishes and perspective’ of his alleged victim, vowing to help all parties including Greenwood ‘rebuild’.

That led to Getafe sealing a loan move for the forward in September and since then, despite the clouds hanging over his reputation in England, he has been warmly received by the club and their fans. 

He lives in Spain with his partner and baby daughter.  

Greenwood’s current Man United contract runs until 2025 and he still earns £75,000 per week, a portion of which is paid by Getafe.
