The forward moved to LaLiga after authorities determined that he couldn’t continue his career at Old Trafford following an inquiry into his off-field conduct. The 22-year-old faced legal issues in January last year, including charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive control.

However, all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February, and Greenwood maintains his innocence.

Since joining Getafe on September 1, the former England player has gradually become part of the first team.

Paul Mitchell, a renowned sporting director, was seen in the Coliseum stands on Monday, observing Getafe’s 1-0 victory over Cadiz, with Borja Mayoral scoring the decisive goal.

Mitchell, recognized for discovering top young talent, is in high demand after leaving Monaco last month.

There are rumours linking him to a potential role at United in a management reshuffle if Sir Jim Ratcliffe completes his 25 per cent takeover and assumes control of football operations.

Mitchell’s speculated return to United, coupled with his visit to Spain to watch Greenwood, suggests the possibility of the striker returning to Old Trafford.

Contrary to the club’s previous claims that Greenwood would leave, there are indications that he might be reintegrated into the Man United first team.

Although he is currently on loan at Getafe, Greenwood remains a United player, and he will rejoin the squad after the loan period concludes.

If Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes over, there may be a greater willingness to bring Greenwood back than under the current ownership.

Greenwood, who started for Jose Bordalas’ side, contributed an assist in the recent match against Cadiz, bringing his total to three goals and two assists in nine appearances across all competitions.

Reports suggest that United fans are eager for Greenwood’s return after his loan spell, expressing their desire on social media.

The Guardian’s Jamie Jackson even mentioned on the Stretford Paddock’s podcast that the club views Greenwood as their best player, surpassing even Bruno Fernandes.

Despite initial expectations that he wouldn’t play for United again, the potential for Greenwood’s return remains uncertain in football.
