Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has suggested he would like to remain at Getafe by admitting he is ‘happy’ at the club.

The striker joined the Spaniards on loan in August for the remainder of the season.

Despite having charges of attempted rape and domestic assault dropped, United conducted their own investigation into Greenwood.

Though the club ultimately determined that videos online did not paint a ‘full picture’ of the incident, it was decided that Greenwood should recommence his future away from Old Trafford.

At Getafe, Greenwood has rediscovered his form and found happiness with his family in Madrid.

However, Greenwood says he’s ‘happy’ at Getafe.

‘Everything’s fine,’ Greenwood told Getafe’s official YouTube channel. 

‘I adapted pretty quickly. [My] team-mates took me under their wing and I’ve just been happy ever since, coming here and training, playing the games. I’m happy.

‘The fans mean a lot to me. The best feeling so far is when I scored my first goal here at the stadium and it meant a lot to me, I heard the fans quite a lot. 

‘We had the training day and a lot of fans came out to watch. We appreciate the fans. They’re like an extra man out there on the pitch when they’re there supporting us.’

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will decide Mason Greenwood’s future towards the end of the season and is not ruling out a return for the striker to Manchester United.

Richard Arnold, the outgoing United CEO, u-turned on his decision to reincorporate Greenwood into the squad at the start of the season.

Greenwood had been suspended as United internally investigated his conduct, following accusations of domestic assault that were eventually dropped.

The forward was sent on a season-long loan to Getafe, with United covering his wages.

In a statement after the investigation, United said they had no expectation that Greenwood would play for the club again.

But the statement was carefully worded, and Arnold will vacate his role by the end of the month.

Ratcliffe will take control of football operations when he completes a 25% capture of the club in the next six weeks.

It will then be down to the 71-year-old to decide Greenwood’s fate and as it stands he’s due to return to the club next July.

Fabrizio Romano says no decision has been made, but that Ratcliffe will take one next summer after the club analyse Greenwood’s situation.

United want Greenwood to focus on his loan at Getafe, and to get back to playing his best football.

Greenwood’s girlfriend and child have made the move with him to Madrid.
