Mason Greenwood's chances of returning to Manchester United have been boosted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment in the club. The INEOS owner has claimed that he will make a fresh decision about his future.

Manchester United suspended Greenwood in January 2022 after he was arrested on suspicion of raping and assaulting a woman.
Manchester United sent Greenwood on loan in September 2023, seemingly ending his Old Trafford career. Greenwood moved to Spain with his partner, who has since given birth, on deadline day last summer after United decided he should continue his career elsewhere. Greenwood joined La Liga side Getafe on loan and has made 24 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and registering five assists.
However, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe suggests that he could still have a future at the club. According to reports published by The Sun, Ratcliffe has assigned a team of reliable advisors to conclude an urgent matter that has been marked as a 'priority', by the end of May.
We will make a decision, correct. All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that. Is he the right type of footballer, Are we happy with if he is a good person or not? He's a Manchester United footballer, so we are in charge of football. So the answer is, 'Yeah, we have to make decisions. It's quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that's been made. He's on loan, obviously, but he's not the only one. We've got one or two footballers that we have to deal with and we have to make a decision on, so we will do that. The process will be: to understand the facts, not the hype, and then try and come to fair decision on the basis of values, which is basically, is he a good guy or not? Could he play sincerely for Manchester United? Well, would we be comfortable with it, and would the fans be comfortable with it?
