Getafe’s president, Ángel Torres, has said the club hope to keep Mason Greenwood for another season and that he does not expect the forward to return to Manchester United at the end of the campaign. Greenwood joined Getafe on loan in September after United said they wanted to avoid him becoming a distraction despite criminal charges against him being dropped after allegations, which Greenwood denied, of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault. The Crown Prosecution Service said there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation and new material came to light. Greenwood has scored 10 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions for Getafe, who are 10th in La Liga. “If it was up to the lad, his parents and the club [Getafe], I think he would continue for another year,” Torres told Radio Marca. “But regarding Manchester [United], the news that we have from last week, where the [Getafe] sporting director went to England to see some games and was with them, is that, if a good offer comes along, they would want to sell because he is not going to go back there. “We’ll have to wait until the end of June … the people and the coach are very happy with him. I think he will remain with us for another season, or at least until January. He is a good footballer.” United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said in February that the club were yet to make a decision regarding Greenwood’s future. La Liga’s president, Javier Tebas, has said he hopes the player will extend his stay in Spain.
