Sir Jim Ratcliffe must address Mason Greenwood's future as a Manchester United priority

"Being able to sign a player of this level at Getafe is complicated, almost impossible," said manager Jose Bordalas when asked about Mason Greenwood last month.

"Given the situation, we bet on him. We are happy and content because we have a great player, he is a good boy, he has fitted in really well and he just needs to learn a little more Spanish."

Greenwood has contributed five goals and four assists in all competitions and Getafe would argue the bet they made on signing him from Manchester United has paid off.

Many supporters in England have felt uncomfortable seeing in-depth coverage of Greenwood's time in Spain, but there was always bound to be interest in how he performed this season.

The decision was made to send Greenwood on loan in August after the club's internal six-and-a-half month investigation concluded 'it would be most appropriate for him' to continue elsewhere.
