Getafe believe Man Utd have triggered Mason Greenwood extension option - despite English forward's reluctance to return to Old Trafford

The 22-year-old forward has been tied to terms at Old Trafford that are due to run until 2025. There has always been the option for another 12 months to be taken up, with the Red Devils having until May of next year to take advantage of that clause.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Greenwood appears <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-team-mates-prepared-welcome-mason-greenwood-back-england-international-star-on-loan-getafe/blt04800a2ec8a171d6" target="_blank">destined to sever ties with United at some stage</a>, having not figured for them since his arrest on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour in January 2022. Those <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-mason-greenwood-cleared-all-charges-attempted-rape-assault-case/blt667fec4a13dfc50d" target="_blank">charges were dropped in February 2023</a> and he has spent the current campaign on loan in Spain with Getafe.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The one-cap England international has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mason-greenwood-past-no-problem-la-liga-javier-tebas-barcelona-atletico-madrid-manchester-united/blt306c2a106061bad9" target="_blank">attracted interest from leading sides across Europe</a> with his performances this season – which include eight goals and five assists – with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-man-utd-huge-price-tag-mason-greenwood-summer-transfer-window-atletico-madrid-asking-getafe-loan-star/blt97e932e9ad3be707" target="_blank">expectation being that he will be moved on again</a> this summer. Greenwood is said to have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-why-mason-greenwood-no-great-desire-play-for-man-utd-again-despite-sir-jim-ratcliffe-opening-door-restart-old-trafford-career/bltd68e25f36461a24e" target="_blank">no desire to rejoin the ranks in Manchester</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Getafe would be keen to keep him on their books and, according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/5382758/2024/04/02/manchester-united-greenwood-getafe-transfer-contract/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=twitterfc&amp;source=twitteruk " target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, believe that an extension option in England that could work in their favour has already been triggered – despite claims to the contrary from senior figures at United. The Liga outfit are eager to put another loan agreement in place.

TELL ME MORE

United may be willing to sanction such a deal if Greenwood’s contract is extended to 2026, as they would have<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-lot-rain-england-mason-greenwood-no-issues-inclement-spanish-weather-man-utd-frustrated-six-goal-thriller-getafe/blt47b3804f95c216f4" target="_blank"> more time in which to find a permanent buyer</a>. Getafe also stand to benefit as a 20 per cent sell-on clause was inserted in the initial agreement that took him to Spain – as Premier League heavyweights recognised the calculated risk being taken by European rivals on a winger that had been without competitive action for more than 18 months.
