Mason Greenwood has been described as “crazy about staying” at Getafe for another year by the club’s president, but Manchester United will ultimately decide what happens with the forward.
United conducted their own internal investigation over Greenwood when charges of assault, attempted rape and coercive control against him were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) due to the withdrawal of key witnesses and diminished chances of a conviction as a result.
After it initially appeared that that he was going to be reintegrated at Old Trafford, backlash saw United announce in August that he would be continuing his career elsewhere. Initially that has taken the form of a loan to Getafe, where the player has made 12 goal contributions in 24 games.
With that loan now entering its final months, Greenwood’s future is up for discussion once more. But Getafe look keen to keep him and president Angel Torres claims the players wants it too.
“There was a lot of movement, we had to study it,” Torres said to El Partizado de COPE, first reflecting on the decision to sign Greenwood last summer. “We found out what had happened. He’s doing well, he’s calm. He’s very comfortable. He’s crazy about staying another year.
“It’s a matter that [Manchester United] have to decide. There is new ownership. They have to say it. In Spain, he has a market but they have money. Barca’s way of playing is going well but it depends on Manchester United. If it’s true, he’ll tell me.”
Also referencing reported interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Torres appeared to suggest that Getafe could end up getting priced out of a permanent deal.

“We will make a decision and we will justify it. He’s a Manchester United footballer so we are in charge of football. So the answer is yes, we have to make decisions. It’s quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that’s been made,”…
