The idea of Mason Greenwood returning to play for Manchester United is one that many fans of the club are unwilling to consider.
When it seemed the Red Devils might release a statement to gauge fan reaction regarding the 22-year-old’s potential return, the leaked information sparked a wave of outrage across social media.
As a result, the forward was eventually loaned to La Liga club Getafe, where he is currently continuing his career.
Although out of the immediate spotlight, Greenwood remains on Manchester United’s radar.
According to *Mundo Deportivo*, Paul Mitchell, who is closely linked with taking over sporting operations at United when Sir Jim Ratcliffe assumes control, attended Getafe’s match against Cadiz. His presence seems unlikely to be a coincidence, suggesting he was there to evaluate Greenwood’s performances in Spain’s top division.
If Mitchell’s scouting mission was indeed for this purpose and he takes on the role of sporting director at Old Trafford, it would reflect Sir Jim’s strong leadership.
While this decision may not receive universal approval, it would offer a glimpse into the character of the new figure guiding Manchester United and its loyal supporters.
