Mason Greenwood has confirmed he will return to Manchester United after his loan with Getafe came to an end.
Greenwood, 22, joined Getafe on loan last summer after United accepted he should continue his career away from Old Trafford after charges of rape and assault against him were dropped.
Getafe officials have publicly admitted their interest in retaining Greenwood, either permanently or on an extended loan, but the forward has now confirmed his time with the club has come to an end.
“Incredibly grateful to the Getafe family and fans for an amazing season,” he wrote on social media.
“Thank you for making me feel welcomed and one of your own. I enjoyed every second, alongside my teammates and club.
“A bitter sweet ending, but it was a pleasure to play for you, I wish you all the best.”
Greenwood’s year in Spain yielded ten goals and six assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.
Greenwood returns to United with 12 months left to run on his contract.
New co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is yet to rule out reintegrating the forward into the United squad, although reports suggest the priority remains to offload Greenwood permanently this summer.
Previous reports have claimed United value Greenwood at close to £40m – a figure which is far too high for Getafe – and a handful of unnamed Premier League sides are believed to have enquired about his availability.
Getafe are entitled to a share of any future sale, with United agreeing to such a clause to help convince the Spanish side to take the risk of hiring Greenwood on loan last summer.
