Mason Greenwood will most likely not be returning to Manchester United at the end of the season, and top European clubs are reportedly planning to capitalise on this fact.
When the attacker first appeared on the Old Trafford scene, he was regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in the world.
In total, Greenwood has made 129 appearances for the Red Devils, contributing 12 assists and 35 goals.
Real Madrid scouts closely monitored Greenwood’s progress with Manchester United, and he attracted interest from a number of other elite teams.
But after off-field claims of attempted rape and assault surfaced, the 22-year-old’s career took a bad turn, and his club suspended him while he awaited trial.
Prosecutors dropped the case against him earlier this year, but Manchester United chose not to reintegrate the young player into the starting lineup.
Rather, Greenwood was sent on loan to Getafe, where he has established himself as a vital member of the La Liga team, contributing four assists and five goals in 15 games played thus far.
The winger’s excellent play in Spain has reportedly “caught the attention of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and a host of other clubs in Spain and around Europe,” according to TEAMtalk.
Man Utd “may have to cash in as keeping Greenwood risks destabilising the fan base and could alienate the women’s team,” according to the report.
Nevertheless, the massive Premier League teams are not “completely sold on the idea of getting rid of him.” Some club members think there’s a way for Greenwood to get back into the fold at Old Trafford, according to TEAMtalk.
However, it currently appears that the attacker will most likely leave Old Trafford permanently next summer, and it is believed that he would be eager to join Real Madrid.
