Man Utd plan for Mason Greenwood revealed as Getafe loanee ‘attracts Real Madrid and Barcelona transfer interest’

REAL MADRID and Barcelona are monitoring Mason Greenwood – with Manchester United now convinced they should sell the Getafe loanee.

The Red Devils have reportedly dashed any ideas once and for all of taking the forward back in the summer.

The one cap Englishman, 22, has impressed Getafe since arriving on transfer deadline day.

And bigger LaLiga side have noted both his haul of five goals and blossoming all-round performances.

Atletico Madrid strike legend Antoine Griezmann even singled Greenwood out for incredible praise this week.

The United academy product failed to score but was a regular menace as Getafe nicked a 3-3 comeback draw at 10-man Atletico on Tuesday.

Griezmann himself netted twice to go level with Luis Aragones as his club’s all-time record scorer on 173 goals.

And afterwards the 127-cap Frenchman, 32, said: “Mason Greenwood was really causing us problems in the second half.

“We couldn’t stop him and it cost us the game.”

That dramatic LaLiga game showed why Getafe would love to put together a package to keep Greenwood permanently.

Boss Jose Bordalas raved: “I said from day one he is a fantastic player and would reach his best level little by little. We have treated him really well.”

But if Spanish giants Real and Barca show firmer interest then Greenwood could be set for a staggering transfer at the end of the season.

He was arrested in January 2022 amid charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.

Greenwood denied all charges and the CPS later dropped them.

United initially considered integrating him back into their squad.

But that idea didn’t go down well with many Red Devils’ fans.

Instead Greenwood was loaned to Getafe – and now it appears United are intent on offloading him for good next summer.
