Barcelona have started discussions to acquire Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, as per reports in Spain.
Greenwood has been on loan at Getafe this season after United chose not to let him return to the first team last summer.
The 22-year-old has not played for United since he was arrested in January 2022 for alleged attempted rape, controlling behaviour, and assault.
Greenwood had all charges against him dropped last February and United had considered reintegrating him into Erik ten Hag’s squad before facing significant criticism from supporters regarding his comeback.
The forward has excelled during his loan stint at Getafe and reportedly, this has piqued Barcelona's interest ahead of the summer transfer window. Sport, The report alleges that Barcelona have made an initial approach to gather more details about Greenwood’s situation but have not yet entered into formal negotiations with United.

‘It’s a matter that they [United] have to decide. There is new ownership. They have to decide.
