Man Utd hand bad news to Getafe after making key decision on Mason Greenwood's future following transfer talks with La Liga club

Getafe are interested in signing the 22-year-old on a second loan deal from United, but The Sun reports the Red Devils are not interested in another temporary deal. Instead, the Old Trafford club would rather sell him on a permanent basis.

Greenwood was loaned to Getafe last summer after charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault against him were dropped. He has impressed while on loan in La Liga, scoring six goals and registering five assists in 24 appearances in the Spanish top-flight.

It was reported this week that the United squad are prepared to welcome Greenwood back into the team next season. Meanwhile, England manager Gareth Southgate refused to rule out a return to the national team, saying: "Allowing him to get his career going again abroad appears to have been a good move. But I have to say I have not tracked it closely. At this moment in time it would be a big distraction for the team [to select him before Euro 2024] and let’s see where that leads next season."

The forward will look to improve on his current record for Getafe between now and the end of the season before deciding where his future lies. United are said to be aiming to recoup around £50 million ($64m) for him, with Atletico Madrid showing interest.
