Mason Greenwood, who is currently on loan at Getafe from Manchester United, has played a crucial role in Getafe’s rise into La Liga’s top half during his season-long loan spell. Despite mounting transfer speculations, Getafe President Angel Corres remains firm in his determination to retain the forward beyond the loan period.
Initially expected to be part of Manchester United’s plans this season under Ten Hag, Greenwood’s situation shifted due to various internal and external factors. Since joining Getafe, he has gradually been rediscovering his form, contributing four goals and three assists in his initial 13 appearances. His performances have attracted interest from multiple European clubs, including Lazio and Real Sociedad.
Greenwood’s move to Spain happened on transfer deadline day following a decision reversal by then-Chief Executive Richard Arnold, who opted against reintegrating him into Erik ten Hag’s squad. Despite reportedly enjoying his time in Madrid, Getafe is eager to extend Greenwood’s stay beyond the upcoming summer.
President Corres has expressed the club’s desire not only to extend Greenwood’s loan but also to secure his permanent signing. However, reports indicate that Manchester United is committed to supporting Greenwood’s career elsewhere instead of offering him opportunities at Old Trafford.
Greenwood is under contract with Manchester United until 2025, but uncertainties have arisen following Arnold’s recent departure, leading to speculation about whether a new sporting department led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe will take a different stance.
Despite Getafe’s interest in keeping Greenwood, Manchester United aims to secure a transfer fee for his signature, considering there are two more transfer windows available after his loan spell at Getafe.
While Greenwood is content in Spain, his appeal from clubs regularly participating in European tournaments could influence his future, especially as he strives to regain his previous form before his arrest in January 2022.
