Manchester United could consider bringing Mason Greenwood back to the club next summer, according to the Daily Express.

The Express reports that Greenwood is one of four options to replace Anthony Martial, who will leave Man Utd when his contract expires next summer.

The other three options are to either sign a veteran like Mehdi Taremi and Wissam Ben Yedder, put their faith in a youngster like Santos’ Marcos Leonardo, or to move Marcus Rashford back to the centre of the attack.

Greenwood’s career was expected to be over at Old Trafford but the Daily Express now reports that is not necessarily the case.

Greenwood joined Getafe on loan during the summer after United concluded their investigation into the criminal charges he was facing last year, which have since been dropped.

United announced that Greenwood would look to continue his career away from Old Trafford, having not played a game since January 2022 following his arrest by police.

The 22-year-old was initially earmarked by United for a return to the first team after an internal investigation by the club but these plans were shelved following a negative reaction to the speculation and Greenwood was eventually told to leave the club.

However, with his contract due to expire in 2025, United had never explicitly stated what the plans were for Greenwood upon his return from loan, with the club focusing on the immediate steps to continue his career rather than the long-term path.

Thus, the door is still not completely shut - even if the bad PR from any possible return makes it difficult.

Greenwood has scored three goals and got two assists in nine games for Getafe in all competitions this season.
