(Football news) Greenwood has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season while on loan at Getafe, tallying 10 goals and dishing out six assists. Sancho, on the other hand, went back on loan to Borussia Dortmund in January. In his 16 games during his second stint in the Bundesliga, he has three goals and two assists.
Both players will be made available for transfer this summer, as Manchester United need to raise funds in order to be active in the upcoming market due to the Premier League’s rules surrounding profitability and sustainability.
Having been told that he has no future at the club, Greenwood joined Getafe on loan last summer, with the Englishman bidding to rebuild his career after a spell out of the game.
In January 2022, following accusations from a woman, Greenwood was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault, and he was then further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
The forward was also facing charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but the case against him was dropped last February.
Manchester United’s new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently opened the door for Greenwood to potentially continue his career at Old Trafford during the 2024-25 campaign.
However, despite Ratcliffe’s comments, it is understood that a summer exit is still being planned, with Juventus and Atletico Madrid thought to be keen; Getafe would like to keep him, but the capital outfit cannot compete for his signature due to financial restrictions.
Greenwood has scored 35 goals and registered 12 assists in 129 appearances for Manchester United, and he was regarded as one of the best young talents in world football before his arrest.
Sancho, meanwhile, has not represented Man United since last August, having fallen out with Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag at the start of the current campaign.
Ten Hag said that he left the ex-Manchester City youngster out against Arsenal earlier this season due to some poor performances in training, but Sancho took to social media to insist that was not the case, effectively branding his manager a liar.
Having refused to apologise, Sancho was removed from the first-team picture at Old Trafford, which led to him returning to Dortmund on loan in January.
The 24-year-old has made a positive impression in his second spell with the Champions League semi-finalists, and Man United are believed to be looking to sell him for around £40m, with a return to BVB on a long-term basis thought to be an option.
Sancho has struggled during his time at Old Trafford, only managing 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.
