Serie A suitors for Mason Greenwood REVEALED as Man Utd consider sale
The future of Mason Greenwood promises to be one of the summer transfer window’s most pressing topics with the Manchester United forward still unsure where he will be playing his football next season.
The 22-year-old is just about to finish a one-year loan spell at LaLiga side Getafe, where he has played 31 Spanish league matches, scoring eight times and providing six assists.
It’s been a productive time in Spain for the Man Utd homegrown youngster, who is seeking to rebuild his career after being encouraged to leave Old Trafford last summer albeit on a temporary basis.

Although no definitive decision has yet been taken over his future prospects at the club, it has been reported that United are willing to sell the England international this summer should the right bid materialise.
LaLiga mainstays Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have both been linked with signing Greenwood while Getafe are known to be keen to keep the winger for another year.
Chelsea have been mooted as a possible destination for Greenwood, whose Red Devils’ terms expire in 2025, with the club having an option to activate a further year.
And now comes the news from The Athletic that Serie A side Napoli have contacted United about the possibility of a deal.
The deposed Italian champions might well lose superstars Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer and are in the market for a high-profile attacker.
Staying at Man Utd not ruled out
The possibility of United RETAINING Greenwood next season has not been discounted either with new minority part owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe stating in February that the club would have to ‘make a decision’ on what to do with the attacker.
Greenwood scored 35 goals in 129 Manchester United games before moving to Getafe on loan last summer.
He was charged with attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and controlling and coercive behaviour in October 2022, and those charges were dropped in February 2023.
