Man Utd must sort out Mason Greenwood dilemma: do they take risk on him, loan again or somehow try to sell tainted star?

MANCHESTER UNITED will soon have to face up to their Mason Greenwood dilemma.

The controversial striker’s loan move to Getafe will come to an end in a few weeks’ time.

The 22-year-old has undeniably done well, scoring ten goals and six assists in 32 appearances in all competitions for Getafe.

Greenwood has scored or created 35 per cent of the club’s goals in LaLiga, helping them to what will be a comfortable mid-table finish.

But has that been enough to create a queue of clubs willing to pay top dollar for
