Getafe hope to keep Man Utd forward Greenwood – Club president

Getafe is aiming to extend Mason Greenwood’s loan for another season, according to club president Angel Torres.

Both Getafe and Manchester United do not anticipate the 22-year-old forward returning to his parent club next season.

“If it was up to the lad, his parents and the club, I think he would continue for another year,” Torres told Spanish radio station Radio Marca on Tuesday.

Greenwood has netted 10 goals in 32 matches across all competitions for Getafe, currently positioned 10th in La Liga.

He transferred to Getafe on the last day of the transfer window in September after Manchester United conducted an internal investigation into his behavior, following the dismissal of a legal case against him.

At that time, United suggested it was preferable for Greenwood to play elsewhere, implying strongly that he might not return to play for them.

Torres said: “Regarding Manchester United, the news that we have from last week, where the sporting director went to England to see some games and was with them, is that, if a good offer comes along, they would want to sell because he is not going to go back there.

“We’ll have to wait until the end of June. The people and the coach are very happy with him.

“I think he will remain with us for another season, or at least until January. He is a good footballer.”

United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said in February that they have yet to make a decision on Greenwood’s future.
