It has been widely indicated that as Sir Jim Ratcliffe closes in on a partial 25% investment into United, he has identified possible key personnel to spearhead his vision at Old Trafford, with Mitchell being among them.

The INEOS billionaire’s proposal is entirely contingent on being granted sporting control.

He is keen to oversee a change of structure and operations at United, with a view to restoring the club’s past glories and bringing back success on the pitch.

Alongside Mitchell, it’s understood that former Juventus CEO Jean-Claude Blanc is also under strong consideration for a top job at United, with Richard Arnold’s future not secure.

A recent report covered by The Peoples Person suggested that Sir Jim could start work at United as soon as next week when an official announcement could be made.

The Daily Star reports that Mitchell was present as Mason Greenwood’s Getafe won by one goal to nil against Cadiz at Estadio Coliseum.

Greenwood came up with an assist for Borja Mayoral’s all-important goal that secured the victory and clinched all three points for Getafe.

The English forward now has three goals and two assists in nine appearances across all competitions for the Spanish outfit this season.

As per the Daily Star, Mitchell was spotted by cameras while Greenwood was in action for his loan side.

The Carrington academy graduate of course joined Getafe after it was announced he will likely not play for United again. He was arrested last year and subsequently charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive control. He denied all the allegations.

In February this year, the Crown Prosecution Service stated that all charges against Greenwood had been dropped due to the withdrawal of key witnesses from the case.

United then launched their own investigation into the matter and had provisionally planned for his return but when the club’s plot was leaked, the Red Devils were forced to perform a U-turn, prompting the player’s loan move to Getafe.

Getafe were down to ten men but it did not matter as they ran out winners at Estadio Coliseum.

The English forward produced a flick-on from a corner, which found a lurking Mayoral at the back post.

Greenwood’s superb performance followed up his previous scintillating display in which he scored two goals for his side in their 12-0 thumping of Tardienta in the Copa Del Rey.

The United academy graduate has now managed an impressive three goals and two assists in nine appearances for Getafe across all competitions.

He is certainly enjoying life in Spain.

During the 86 minutes he was on the pitch against Cadiz, Greenwood registered 50 touches of the ball.

He successfully delivered 22 of the 29 passes he attempted, managing a pass accuracy of 76%. He made one key pass.

The 22-year-old tried to find his target with four crossing attempts but was unsuccessful on all four occasions.

Greenwood pinged five long balls to his teammates. Three of his five attempts were accurate, in a solid show of his technical ability.

The United loanee created one big chance and blocked two shots.

He embarked on five dribbles and came out on top four times. He delved into 12 ground duels and won five of these. He did not win the one aerial duel he was required to contest.

Up next for Getafe is a trip to face Granada on Saturday – another fixture in which Greenwood will be looking to make an impact.

Manchester United’s turbulent summer including the club making a decision on the Mason Greenwood saga, opting to send the forward out on loan to continue his development away from Old Trafford.

Greenwood was shipped to Spanish side Getafe on a season-long deal and the forward has settled in well on the continent.

As reported by The Sun, the 22-year-old was part of Getafe’s 12-0 dismantling of minnows Tardienta in the Copa del Rey, yesterday (Wednesday).

Greenwood scored twice in the rout before being replaced on the hour to save his legs for the weekend fixture against Cadiz.

The United man’s brace came in the fashion of two tidy close-range finishes, putting his side 2-0 and 6-0 up, respectively.

Greenwood also played his part in a couple of the other Getafe goals, jinking past Tardienta defenders almost at will, with the gulf in class apparent throughout.

The forward is enjoying life in Spain and is reportedly open to making his stay a permanent one, at the end of his current deal.

Greenwood will be desperate to get back to form and fitness having played his last game for United back in early 2022.

United were left with little option but to move Greenwood away from the club given the nature of the well-publicized reasons for his omission from the playing squad for 18 months.

Should Greenwood continue his form in Spain, United will likely look to negotiate a fee with interested parties at the end of the current campaign.

No official communication has been made by United regarding the future of the player but it would be a surprise to see Greenwood play for his boyhood side again

Greenwood played 129 times for United, scoring 35 goals and contributing 12 assists.

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood completed 90 minutes for Getafe in their goalless draw with Real Mallorca, yesterday (Saturday).

It was a war of attrition in the Balearic Islands and with neither of the two sides picking up a win in their last four fixtures between them, it was never going to be a classic.

Mallorca had the better of the proceedings overall but couldn’t find a breakthrough in front of home support and the match ended in a stalemate.

Greenwood was Getafe’s biggest threat on the day and if the away side were going to snatch the three points, it was going to come from the United loanee.

The 22-year-old flashed a left footed strike wide of Predrag Rajkovic’s goal on the half hour mark with Getafe’s only shot in anger of the first period.

Mallorca controlled the majority of the second half but a jinking run and shot from Greenwood with 20 minutes remaining offered a reminder of the young man’s ability.

Greenwood glided past two Mallorca defenders before seeing his shot from the edge of the box blocked and Getafe remain without a win in five.

The United man has performed well since his loan move to Spain, impressing his new coaches.

The Peoples Person reported recently that Greenwood is open to extending his stay on the continent beyond his current twelve month deal.

Having not featured for United since early 2022, Greenwood’s widely publicised off-field issues look to have cost him his future at Old Trafford.

Despite the charges brought against him being dropped, United’s internal investigation deemed that the player should continue his development away from the club.

There has been no official communication on Greenwood’s long term future but it would be a major surprise to see him play for his boyhood club again.

The forward will be hoping to impress in Spain in order to catch the eye of potential suitors who could offer him a long term deal to take him to the next step in restarting his footballing career.

Manchester United’s decision to send Mason Greenwood on loan in the summer has allowed the forward to continue his career away from Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.

The attacker has the opportunity to experience a new culture in Spain and has settle well on the field with some decent performances at the start of the new season.

However, as reported by The Daily Star, the Englishman might not have adapted to Spanish cuisine quite as easily.

Greenwood’s father, Andrew, was spotted in a local Burger King on the night prior to Getafe’s weekend fixture against Real Betis.

The paper naturally assumed that one of the two bags of scran that Andrew was spotted leaving the chain with was bought undercover for his son as “two bags” were brought to the car in which the United player was waiting.

Furthermore, according to the paper, fast food chains are a breach of protocol put in place by Getafe boss Jose Bordalas and Greenwood has risked the ire of his new coach.

If Bordalas reads the English press and finds out about the rule break, the United man could be in for a fine or even a spell out of the first team.

However, it appears Greenwood is safe for now as he started the 1-1 draw with Betis and completed another satisfactory 80 minutes before being substituted.

Having been sent to Spain after internal investigations into his widely publicised off-field issues last year, Greenwood’s long-term future remains unclear.

The Peoples Person recently reported the forward would be open to staying with Getafe after his season long loan comes to an end.

It would be a major surprise to see Greenwood return to Old Trafford and his performances this season will decide his next move.

Greenwood played over 100 games for United before his suspension from the first team, scoring 35 goals.

The United Academy graduate was arrested last year on serious charges of rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

All charges were subsequently dropped and United manager Erik ten Hag even admitted that the 22-year-old could shoulder the burden of the team’s attack if he were to be reintegrated.

Greenwood sent out on loan

Club CEO Richard Arnold even intimated to staff that the forward would be returning only to take a U-turn after fan reactions from around the world were overwhelmingly negative.

United were forced to scramble for a solution late in the summer transfer window, eventually agreeing a loan deal with Getafe for the season on deadline day.

Greenwood has started strongly so far, playing five games for his new team and even scoring once and registering an assist and his displays have already alerted the big clubs willing to take a gamble on the youngster.

The Peoples Person recently reported that Getafe want to keep a hold of the player beyond the current loan spell with the United man also in favour of remaining at the La Liga side.

Europa League champions and current Champions League side Sevilla have also been linked with a move next summer and it would be a step up from Getafe for sure.

Greenwood price revealed

Now as per TeamTalk, United are not expected to stand in the player’s way of remaining in Spain and it would put an end to the media circus around the club regarding Greenwood.

“Come the summer, Greenwood – considered a £50m asset at his peak – will have just 12 months remaining on his United deal.

“Any sale of the player will be seen as very much a bonus and it’s believed that, if he continues to enjoy a strong season, they could bank as much as €20m – €25m (£17.3m – £21.7m) from his sale.”

It will be a huge missed opportunity for United considering the immense potential the striker had but in the end, it will be the right decision and one that needs to be taken soon.

Rasmus Hojlund has started in blistering fashion in the Champions League but is yet to open his account in the Premier League.

Last season’s top scorer Marcus Rashford has really struggled so far, netting just once while Anthony Martial once again remains on the periphery with many reports linking him with a January exit.

United’s struggles up front

This is exactly why manager Erik ten Hag was desperate for another striker to come in. At one point, the manager even stated that Mason Greenwood would be able to spearhead the team’s attack if he were to be reinstated.

The United Academy graduate was arrested last year on serious charges of rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Even though the charges were dropped, fans were absolutely against the idea of Greenwood returning to the first team and there was a lot of anger when news emerged that there were serious discussions about reintegrating him back into the squad.

In the end, it was announced that the 22-year-old would not be returning and instead, he sealed a loan move to Getafe in La Liga on transfer deadline day.

He has played five games so far for his new team and scored once and registered an assist and his displays have already alerted the big clubs willing to take a gamble on the youngster.

The Peoples Person recently reported that Getafe were open to keeping him beyond his loan spell with the forward himself keen to continue his career at the club.

Now The Mirror have claimed Sevilla are also eyeing a move at the end of the season. The Europa League champions are regular in the Champions League and are obviously a much bigger draw.

Sevilla eyeing Greenwood permanent deal

“Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood wants to make his loan move to Getafe permanent, it is claimed.

“Getafe could face competition to earn the 22-year-old’s signature, though, as Mirror Football understands that Sevilla are among a number of other La Liga clubs interested in signing him. Greenwood’s contract with the Red Devils runs until June 2025.”

United are reportedly paying the bulk of Greenwood’s wages and a permanent sale will be what the club should seek to do as soon as possible.

There have been reports that the forward could return to United next season, an idea that should not be entertained.

This is according to The Guardian’s Jamie Jackson who was talking to Stretford Paddock, where he said that it shouldn’t be entirely ruled out that Greenwood returns to work under Erik ten Hag.

The forward was arrested last year on serious charges of among other things, rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

All accusations against him were subsequently dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service, who cited the withdrawal of key witnesses from the case as their major reason for not proceeding with their attempts at convicting Greenwood.

United launched an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the matter. The Red Devils had provisionally prepared for his return but were forced to perform a dramatic U-turn after their plans got leaked.

The club came under intensely harsh criticism and backlash. A loan to Getafe was sanctioned on transfer deadline day.

Greenwood recently scored his first goal for José Bordalás’ side and seems to be slowly growing back in confidence after a prolonged period on the sidelines.

The expectation was that the Carrington academy graduate would never play for United again but according to Jackson, there is still a remote possibility that the 21-year-old could feature for his boyhood club in future.

Jackson said, “I do think there is a way he comes back to Manchester United.”

“He’s not expected to play for United again but I can see it, I’m not saying it will happen though.”

“You just don’t know in football and I do know they think he’s the best player there – even better than Bruno [Fernandes].”

Jackson however added that “all hell would break loose” if such a thought turned out to be a reality.

Manchester United’s summer was another chaotic one and included the departure of Mason Greenwood on a loan deal to Spanish side, Getafe.

The season-long deal was agreed for Greenwood to continue his playing career outside of Old Trafford after internal investigations into the allegations made against the player were resolved.

Greenwood was accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control in January of last year when he was arrested under the charges.

Since his move to Spain, Greenwood has impressed Getafe staff and opened his account for his new side during last weekend’s draw at Celta Vigo.

The former England international was happy to get off the mark and praised his teammates’ spirit after the hard-earned point on the road.

“Happy to score my first goal for Getafe. Amazing team spirit to come away with a point,” said the forward.

As reported by The Sun, sources told the paper that Greenwood is loving life in Spain and is open to making the move a permanent one.

“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,” says the paper.

Having not played a professional game since the charges were brought against him, Greenwood is looking to rebuild his career and reputation after police announced they had dropped the charges, early this year.

United are yet to communicate their long-term intentions for the player but it would be a surprise to see him play for the club again.

The hierarchy at Old Trafford has been heavily criticized for their handling of the saga and a clean break for the club and player is likely to be the outcome next summer.

Should Greenwood continue to impress his new bosses, a permanent switch to the Madrid-based side could well be a suitable option all around.

Getafe and Greenwood return to action next Saturday with a home game against Real Betis, whilst Erik ten Hag takes his United side to struggling Sheffield United the same evening.

In what was his fifth game for the Spanish outfit, Greenwood found himself at the far post, from where he was able to fire the ball into the back of the net from close range.

The Englishman’s goal temporarily handed 10-man Getafe a 2-1 lead.

However, they were pegged back just before the interval courtesy of Celta’s Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Eventually, both sides shared the spoils.

Greenwood played for 60 minutes. Currently, Getafe sit in 11 position in La Liga heading into the two-week international break.

Their draw against Celta was their fourth of the season.

During the time he was on the pitch, Greenwood completed one of the two dribbles he embarked on.

He only had 13 touches of the ball and managed to successfully deliver five of the six passes he attempted.

The forward won one of the five ground duels he delved into and failed to come out on top in the one aerial challenge he was required to contest in the air.

Greenwood will be hoping that his first goal for his loan club will open the floodgates for many more to come this campaign.

The 21-year-old is of course not expected to play for United ever again after his parent club determined that it was no longer feasible for the player to continue with his career at Old Trafford.

Amidst allegations of attempted rape, assault and coercive control, he was suspended by United in January 2022. His charges were subsequently dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.

United were conducting their own investigation into the matter and had provisionally prepared for his return but when their plans were leaked, the intense outrage and backlash forced the 20-time English champions to perform a U-turn.

A season-long loan move to Getafe was subsequently sanctioned by Erik ten Hag’s side.
