Manchester United players are reportedly open to Mason Greenwood returning to Old Trafford, despite the seriousness of his issues. The Sun reveals that there’s no outright opposition within the team to his potential comeback. While controversy looms over this prospect, sources suggest that the decision leans more towards sporting considerations rather than personal opinions.
Amid his exploits in La Liga, Greenwood remains distant from the spotlight in England, his home turf, and the English media. Getafe faced backlash for their controversial decision to loan the 22-year-old from Manchester United, bearing the weight of criticism. Following his sidelining due to a rape-related arrest in January 2022, Manchester United opted not to field him further amidst fan outcry, although subsequent developments saw the allegations dismissed by the crown prosecutor.
Is Mason Greenwood Returning Back To Manchester United?
With his contract set to expire in 2025, Greenwood is poised for a potential return to Manchester United unless the Red Devils opt to transfer him to an interested party. Both Getafe and Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in retaining his services.
The prospect of Greenwood returning to Old Trafford gains traction, especially as alternatives like Barcelona seem uncertain. Current reports indicate that Manchester United players view him as a viable “sporting” option for the team’s future.
The possibility of Greenwood donning the Manchester United jersey again remains on the table, with the club dropping hints of receptiveness to the idea. However, they might also explore selling the controversial player, who still has a year left on his contract, for the right price.
Should Greenwood return to Manchester United next season, potential protests from the women’s squad could ensue, expressing discontent with the club’s decision. A verdict on his future may come in May, coinciding with the conclusion of the current season, providing clarity on whether a return to Old Trafford is in the cards.
Liverpool and Manchester United fight for Brahim Diaz
Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are now eyeing the talented 24-year-old Brahim Diaz, currently lighting up the scene at Real Madrid. After a successful loan spell at AC Milan, Diaz returned to Madrid this season, where he’s been impressing under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti. Despite not being a regular starter, Diaz has managed to amass nine goals and four assists in just over half of Real Madrid’s games this season, showcasing his versatility and effectiveness in the final third.
With Manchester United and Liverpool reportedly in the mix for Diaz’s signature, alongside Arsenal’s interest, the young midfielder has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. Although Real Madrid may command a hefty price for his services, there are murmurs suggesting his price tag might not be exorbitant.
However, the question remains: Should Real Madrid brace themselves for Diaz’s departure? Despite interest from Newcastle United in January, the Spanish club was hesitant to let go of Diaz. With his current level of performance and potential for development, Real Madrid might opt to retain him for the foreseeable future, integrating him further into their long-term plans.
