“Erik ten Hag is very smart and wise. He wanted Mason Greenwood all this time. For the first time he said something about Mason Greenwood as he plans to bring the young lad back with Jadon Sancho deal”
This summer at Manchester United might be extremely busy as it will be the first where Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ownership has a significant influence on the team.Sir Jim has submitted a bid through his INEOS group for 25% of the Old Trafford team, which was accepted by the Glazer family. Although they still hold majority control, they no longer have full control over the management of United.One important aspect of Sir Jim’s ownership position is that he will have complete control over the football operations of the club, including all player transactions and the roster that manager Erik ten Hag can choose from.
Regarding departures, Donny van de Beek left this month to join on loan to Bundesliga team Eintracht Frankfurt, while Jadon Sancho is expected to return to his old team, Borussia Dortmund, for the second half of the campaign.Sancho has not lived up to the £73 million United paid the German team for the 23-year-old back in 2021. He was kicked out of the Old Trafford first team following a clash with Ten Hag over his lack of selection for the September loss to Arsenal due to his poor training performances.Sancho’s future at United seems doubtful, which has resulted in his impending return to the Bundesliga team.
Mason Greenwood is now on a season-long loan from United to the Spanish team Getafe. It is doubtful that either player will play for the Old Trafford club again, as similar transfer plans may materialise this summer.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that Sancho is not a guaranteed pick for Dortmund to acquire in the summer following his loan spell.He responds that, given Sancho’s strong return to the Bundesliga and the likelihood of receiving larger bids for him, United will evaluate their options about his future in the summer.Similarly, The Sun reports that Getafe wants to pay £40 million this summer for the United academy graduate, Greenwood, but that other teams are keeping an eye on him, including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and AC Milan.
Due to the possibility that the Old Trafford club could sell him for greater money this summer, similar to what happened with Sancho, United has kept the transaction as a loan arrangement as of late.When it comes to selling players, United has historically had trouble recovering significant transfer payments; however, this could start to change in a few months.
