Man Utd fans want Mason Greenwood to ‘come home’ after Getafe success – even though crisis-hit club won’t take him back
MANCHESTER United fans reportedly want Mason greenwood to return following his loan spell at Getafe.
The winger, 22, scored twice for his new Spanish club as they thrashed minnows Tardienta on Wednesday night.
The brace adds to his first La Liga goal against Celta Vigo last month.
Greenwood is on loan at the Madrid-based club from United, though is said to be “happy” with life in Spain.
Back at Old Trafford, though, manager Erik Ten Hag is under increasing scrutiny following his side’s abject start to the season.
United were dumped out the Carabao Cup, the competition they won last year, following a 3-0 defeat at home to Newcastle on Tuesday night.
It was the club’s eighth loss in 15 matches so far this season.
Now desperate fans are calling for Greenwood to return to the club, Daily Star reports.
Taking to social media, one said: “Bring back my star boy.”
Another wrote: “I think it is the best time we bring Mason Greenwood back from Getafe. He’s just good tbh.
“Better than every forward in Man United’s squad currently. Mason should be back.”
A third added: “Do you know what is technically missing in this ten Hag squad? Mason Greenwood.”
But others were reluctant on the idea, saying he should be “nowhere near United”.
Greenwood was arrested arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
He was later charged with the offences, before the case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
United subsequently launched an internal probe, before deciding that Greenwood could not continue his career at Old Trafford.
He joined Getafe on hours before the end of the summer transfer window deadline and has now scored three goals in eight appearances.
A source told SunSport he is hoping to stay at the club for the forseeable future.
They added: “The players and fans have all given him a welcome he could only have dreamed of.
“He really feared his career was over. Now he’s just so happy and wants to carry on playing and not think too far ahead.”
