Mason Greenwood has delivered an update on his future after the Getafe forward posted a 52-word statement on his Instagram.
Questions have been mounting over whether the Manchester United loanee will return to Old Trafford this summer following the conclusion of his loan spell in Spain.
The 22-year-old has reportedly been attracting interest from clubs around Europe, with at least two Premier League football clubs interested in signing the forward.
His contract at Old Trafford is due to expire in 2025, with Mail Sport previously reporting that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and United’s leadership group were working towards selling the English striker.
Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour in October 2022. The case against him was dropped in 2023 after key witnesses had withdrawn. Greenwood denied the allegations made against him.

United had also conducted their own internal investigation into the matter, concluding that releasing the £75,000-per-week forward was not an option.
The club sought a future for him away from Old Trafford, with Greenwood agreeing a deadline day deal to join Getafe on loan on September 1, 2023.

Speculation heightened this week that he would not be returning to Man United after The Sun reported that the ‘£2million Manchester mansion in which Greenwood lived was put up for rent’.
Mail Sport understands that Greenwood, who last played for United in January 2022, wants to test himself at the top level.
Ratcliffe and United’s ownership are yet to make a final call on his future, but Ratcliffe had previously left the door open for a potential return, despite indications from the club that he would not play for the Red Devils again.
Getafe finished the season losing their last five LaLiga matches. Last week, their game against Alaves was suspended just 18 minutes into the game, after some opposition fans had targeted Greenwood with offensive chants.
