The 22-year-old went on season-long loan to Spanish team Getafe, where in 19 appearances he has contributed four assists and five goals.
After accusations of attempted rаpe and viоlence were dismissed earlier in the year, United were ready to reintegrate Greenwood into the first team squad in the summer. However, they ultimately concluded that Greenwood’s best interests were served outside of Old Trafford.
Greenwood’s future is “top priority for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS,” and his loan is set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
But a number of La Liga teams, including the reigning champions Barcelona, have expressed interest in him as a result of his performance in Spain.
The Catalan giants are reportedly hoping to sign the striker shortly, according to The Sun, with Greenwood telling his advisors that moving to Camp Nou would be a “dream move.”
“Barcelona want to sign Greenwood, and he wants to move there,” a source told the publication. The clubs need to reach a consensus in order to proceed.
The management has acknowledged that Greenwood won’t be coming back, and Manchester United wants to sell the player.
It is believed that a clean break is best for all involved. Even with Greenwood’s brilliance, going back to the club at a time when it is beginning a new chapter and has new owners is seen as a step backward.
Greenwood, who has settled in nicely in Spain, recently declared he would be “happy” to remain at Getafe past the current campaign.
“I adjusted really rapidly. I’ve been delighted coming here, exercising, and playing the games ever since my teammates took me under their wing. I’m content.
“I’m very grateful for the fans.” The greatest sensation I’ve had thus far was when I scored my first goal at this stadium; it meant a lot to me, and I could hear the supporters cheering.
Many admirers attended the training day that we held. We value our fans. When they’re there to support us, they’re like an additional man on the pitch.
