Erik ten Hag reportedly has an interesting stance on Mason Greenwood’s Manchester United return.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has already made his stance on Mason Greenwood’s potential return clear as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS prepare to decide on his future, according to reports. Greenwood will return to United this summer before one of three likely outcomes, and Ten Hag has named his preferred path.
The 22-year-old forward hasn’t played for United since January 2022, when he was arrested before he was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, all of which he denied.

The 22-year-old forward hasn’t played for United since January 2022, when he was arrested before he was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, all of which he denied.
In February last year, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges due to the ‘withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light’.
And after a six-month club investigation, then-chief executive Richard Arnold reportedly informed United staff of his plans to reintegrate Greenwood into the first-team squad this season.
However, internal and external backlash about the academy graduate’s planned return forced a change of heart. Greenwood was subsequently hurried out of the exit door on deadline day, joining Getafe on loan.
He has caught the eye while restarting his career in Spain, registering five goals and four assists in 17 appearances for Getafe.
