Mason Greenwood’s teammates at Manchester United are ready to welcome him back to Old Trafford after a successful loan spell in Spain, according to reports.
The 22-year-old forward has been absent from the Red Devils’ squad since January 2022 due to legal issues, which were resolved when charges against him were dropped in February 2023.
Following his departure from Manchester United, Greenwood joined Getafe on loan and has made a positive impact in La Liga. His performances have caught the attention of clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, sparking rumours of a potential high-profile transfer in the summer of 2024.
Despite speculation about Greenwood’s future, Manchester United still hold him under contract until 2025. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a 25% stake in the club, indicating openness to Greenwood’s return, there’s a possibility for his comeback to Old Trafford.
Now, it’s being suggested that Greenwood’s former teammates would be open to reuniting with him on the pitch, signalling a willingness to work together again.
The Sun claims to have been told by a source that: “His team-mates would not be against him returning to Old Trafford. They know all about the background and understand how controversial it would be to have him back.
Their decision is a football one, pure and simple. United have struggled to score goals this season and they need a player like Mason. They’re watching him score and create goals for Getafe every week.”
Greenwood has found stability in Spain alongside his partner, Harriet, and their infant daughter. Despite this, he has refrained from making any public statements about his future plans.
Previously, the idea of returning to Old Trafford with a fresh start was met with resistance from influential figures within the Manchester United women’s team.
