According to a report from Express, Manchester United seem hesitant to sell Mason Greenwood despite reports of a significant offer of £40m before the January transfer window. The response from the Red Devils might indicate Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s intentions for Greenwood following his assumption of control over football operations from the Glazer family.
Greenwood’s Promising Loan Spell At Getafe This Season
Mason Greenwood, on loan from Manchester United, is making a strong resurgence at Getafe. His impactful performances, including four goals and three assists in 14 matches, have attracted attention from clubs across Europe, hinting at a potential transfer saga.
The 22-year-old has consistently showcased attacking prowess, averaging 2.8 shots, 0.8 key passes, and 1.1 dribbles per game in La Liga.
Moreover, his precise passing in the final third is notable, boasting an 82.7% pass completion rate in the Spanish league (statistics sourced from whoscored).
Will The Manchester United Outcast Exit Permanently In The January Transfer Window?
The young striker, renowned for his undeniable talent, was caught up in non football related controversy earlier this year. However, his outstanding displays at Getafe have sparked discussions about whether Man United should bring him back from loan, particularly considering potential reinforcements for Erik ten Hag’s attacking lineup.
There’s a visible demand for attacking prowess at Old Trafford, and Greenwood’s skill set aligns well with Ten Hag’s preferred style of play. Yet, this decision extends beyond on-field abilities; it involves Greenwood’s journey to redemption post his off-field controversies earlier this year.
His recall could infuse immediate attacking prowess into Ten Hag’s squad. With his adaptability, clinical finishing, and knack for creating chances, Greenwood could provide a much-needed lift. Nonetheless, United might need to contemplate selling Greenwood soon to preserve his value, considering his contract ends in 2025.
As next year approaches, with only one year left on his contract, the club faces a tough decision regarding his future. However, it is certain that the young talent is not poised to exit Old Trafford permanently in the January transfer window as Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans to decide on Greenwood at the end of the season.
