Manchester United have reportedly named their price for Mason Greenwood after ‘having made the decision to sell the forward’ who is currently on loan at Getafe. 

Speculation has arisen in recent months over the 22-year-old’s future, with Mail Sport reporting earlier this week that United’s football director John Murtough and Matt Hargreaves were spotted in Spain on Monday. 

According to Marca, United have settled upon a decision on the forward’s future and will ‘sell the Englishman to the highest bidder’. 

That is a fee which Marca claim Getafe ‘can not afford to pay’ but there is a desire at the LaLiga outfit to keep Greenwood.

The outlet also understands that Man United’s representatives ‘had been in Getafe on Tuesday to meet with executives at the Madrid club. 

Both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move to sign Greenwood, with Murtough and Hargreaves also having lunch with Barcelona sporting director Deco and two representatives from the Base agency, Frank Trimboli and Federico Massai. 

But Marca have also claimed United’s £42m asking price for the former England international may even be too high for Barca, who have been scrambling in recent years to stay in line with LaLiga’s financial regulations. 

This season, Greenwood has returned eight goals and five assists in 26 matches across all competitions for Getafe and said he was ‘happy’ playing at the Spanish club in January.  

He joined Getafe on loan in June 2023, having not played competitive football since December 2021, after he was arrested in January 2022 on suspicion of raping and assaulting a woman. He was subsequently charged for several offences.

He was suspended by United, pending the outcome of his criminal case, with the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the charges in February 2023. 

The Red Devils had also conducted an internal review, concluding that the forward would leave the club and recommence his career away from Old Trafford. 

Mail Sport reported in February that new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe had opened the door for Greenwood to make a potential return to the club following his exile. That was met with criticism by Women’s Aid, who asked United to explain their change in stance towards the 22-year-old.

Despite that it appears Greenwood reportedly has ‘no desire to play for Man United again’, per The Athletic.
