Mason Greenwood will not return to Manchester United next season, Getafe president Angel Torres said, adding that he hopes the forward remains at the Spanish club.

Greenwood, 22, joined Getafe on a season-long loan from United in September after a criminal investigation into a possible attempted rape was closed by prosecutors. He had not played for United since January 2022, after being implicated in controlling and coercive behavior and assault in relation to a woman after images and videos were posted online.

“If it were for the boy, his parents and the club (Getafe), I think he would continue for another year,” Torres told Radio Marca. “But regarding Manchester (United), the news we have from last week where the sports director (of Getafe) went to England to watch some games and was with them, is that if a good offer arrives, they would want to sell because he would not He’s going back there (to Manchester).

“We will have to wait until the end of June. The family and the player are very comfortable and very happy here, with our fans. When he came here, he had not played for 16 months. He has regained his form. He has scored eight goals in the League and two in Cup. The people and the coach are very happy with him. I think he will continue one more season with us, or at least until January.

New United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said last month that no decision had been made over Greenwood’s future, although club sources told ESPN that a permanent exit in the summer remains the most likely outcome. He has scored 10 goals and assisted six more in 32 games in all competitions for the Spanish team.

ESPN reported last month that a decision had yet to be made on Greenwood’s future at Old Trafford. Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid have expressed interest in signing Greenwood, although Barcelona’s attention had waned.

Greenwood and his family have settled well in Spain, ESPN sources said, and initial concerns of hostility quickly disappeared.
