SUMMARY
- Mason Greenwood was suspended by his club on allegations of assault and r*pe.
- Mason Greenwood's future at United is uncertain.
If Mason Greenwood’s options at Manchester United were restored, he would turn down a transfer to Barcelona. The 22-year-old feels he owes United supporters and manager Erik ten Hag a “debt.” The United supporters would then have an opportunity chance of see their star player don a United jersey once more.
Throughout his loan at Getafe, the former England international with one cap has been under observation by the Spanish powerhouses all season. Additionally, the Nou Camp team had wanted to quickly reach an agreement so that he could join Barcelona in June. Greenwood informed his advisors that it would be a “dream move” to move to Barcelona.

However, if a move back to Manchester United is on the cards he will surely be moving to his boyhood club back instead of the Spanish giants. Greenwood has been United’s academy product and loves the club a lot to turn them down.
It remains to be seen now what happens with Mason in the coming months and what Manchester United and their new co-owner Sir Jm Ratcliffe decide. Recently, Sir Jim put forward his views on Greenwood and also many aspects of the club in general.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe shares his views on Mason Greenwood’s situation
Mason Greenwood may yet have a future at Manchester United, according to Sir Jim Ratcliffe. In January 2022, Greenwood received a suspension by the club following his arrest on charges of assaulting and ra**ng a female. A year ago, all accusations against him were withdrawn, even though he was charged with other offenses ten months later.
🚨 Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Greenwood.
“We’ll try to understand the facts, not the hype”.
“We’ll use values like is he a good guy or not, could he play sincerely for well, would we be comfortable with it, would the fans be comfortable with it…”.
“Then we will decide”. pic.twitter.com/kQAIkUXtZ6

Nevertheless, the England striker was loaned to the Spanish team Getafe in September till the conclusion of the season after United conducted an internal inquiry into his behavior; it was thought improbable that he would ever play for the team again. Although Greenwood has been a regular player for the Madrid-based team in Spain, the consensus has been that United will trade him during the summer to the biggest bidder.
However, Sir Jim seems to have different plans as he said, “All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that. Is he the right type of footballer, are we happy with if is he a good person or not? He’s a Manchester United footballer, so we are in charge of football.” It remains to be seen whether or not Manchester United will take Greenwood back.
