Despite facing opposition from fans, Barcelona’s Board of Directors still wants to recruit striker Mason Greenwood from M.U.

Due to acts of assault and sexual abuse against his girlfriend Harriet Robson, MU striker Mason Greenwood was arrested by the police in January 2022. After a long investigation by the police, the British striker was acquitted 1 and a half years later.

Although coach Erik ten Hag really wanted to bring Greenwood back to the M.U first team, due to fierce opposition from the fans, coach Ten Hag and the M.U Board of Directors were forced to loan the 22-year-old striker to Getafe in the summer of 2023. .

In the Getafe shirt, Greenwood has gradually regained his peak form. The proof is that he contributed 5 goals and 4 assists after 15 appearances in all competitions (playing a total of 1,081 minutes).

Witnessing Greenwood’s revival, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have expressed their desire to recruit the striker born in 2001. According to TalkSPORT, M.U has no intention of bringing “Green Wood” back to play at Old Trafford. The current contract between the two parties is only valid until June 2025. Therefore, the “Red Devils” are ready to accept the sale of this talented and handicapped player as soon as possible.

Faced with the news that the home team wanted to buy Greenwood, many Barcelona fans took to social networks to protest. However, according to Spanish journalist Adrian Sanchez, the Nou Camp team’s owners are still very determined to surpass Real in this deal, even willing to spend 40 million euros.

It is known that coach Xavi Hernandez highly appreciates Greenwood’s ability to dribble, finish well with both feet as well as play versatile football (can play well on both wings and as a striker).

During Christmas, Greenwood, his girlfriend Harriet Robson and their first child returned to Manchester to enjoy a family holiday.
