Mason Greenwood 'would reject Barcelona to return to Manchester United'

There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the 22-year-old's future, with Barcelona said to be keen to sign him on a permanent basis, while a number of other Spanish clubs are said to be keen.

Greenwood joined Getafe on loan from Man United last summer, and he has represented the capital side on 24 occasions, scoring seven goals and registering five assists in the process.

Man United's new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe has opened the door on a potential return to Old Trafford for the club's academy product.

«I can talk about the principle, I'm not going to talk about Mason. I'm familiar with it. The principle is the important one because we will have other issues going forward,» Ratcliffe told journalists earlier this week.

«You're dealing with young people, they've not always been brought up in the best of circumstances, who are very talented, they've got lots of money and they don't always have maybe the guidance they should have.

»What we need to do when we have issues like that is, we need to understand what the facts are — the real facts, not the hype — what the real facts are. Then we need to make a fair decision in the light of the club's values, that's what we need to do and that's how we will do it.

«We'll make a decision, yeah, correct. And we'll justify it one way or another. All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach it. Is he the right type of footballer? Is he a good person or not?

»Well, he's a Manchester United footballer, we're in charge of football, so the answer is yeah, we have to make a decision, it's quite clear.
