As per a report by The Sun, Manchester United players express a lack of objection towards the potential return of Mason Greenwood to Old Trafford. The article suggests that the decision leans more towards a sporting assessment rather than being influenced by personal opinions. However, the prospect of Greenwood’s reinstatement to the club may engender controversy.
Manchester United players back Mason Greenwood return
Mason Greenwood remains distant from the realms of English football, his club Manchester United, and the pervasive glare of the English media, as he continues to assert himself in La Liga. Getafe bore the brunt of a contentious decision by acquiring the 22-year-old on loan from the Red Devils.
Since his arrest in January 2022 on allegations of rape, Greenwood has been absent from Manchester United’s lineup. Although the Crown prosecutor subsequently dismissed these accusations, a fan-driven backlash compelled Manchester United to refrain from reinstating him.
Greenwood’s contractual obligations with Manchester United extend until 2025, implying a potential return unless the club opts to transfer him to interested parties. Atletico Madrid has expressed interest, while Getafe may also contemplate retaining him.
Despite being a target for Barcelona, Greenwood’s future does not seem destined for Catalonia or Real Madrid. This leaves open the possibility of a return to Old Trafford. Reportedly, current Manchester United players are supportive of his potential return from a purely sporting standpoint should Greenwood opt to revisit his former stomping grounds.
Will Manchester United welcome Mason Greenwood?
In consideration of the potential return of the striker to Old Trafford, Manchester United has indicated a degree of receptiveness to the prospect. Nevertheless, the club may ultimately opt against such a move, potentially opting to offload the player, who remains controversial, with a year remaining on his contract.
The Women’s team at Manchester United has vehemently opposed the club’s decision not to terminate the player’s contract and is expected to maintain its stance should Greenwood rejoin next summer. Presently, Manchester United is poised to deliberate on the forward’s future in May, upon the conclusion of the season, at which point they will determine the course of action, including the possibility of his return to Old Trafford.
