      Greenwood arrived at Getafe on deadline day this summer and made his debut on September 17.
      His coach Jose Bordalas pledged to help him “recover his best level”.
      It comes after Jamaica’s manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said he wants Greenwood play for the island nation.
      The Reggae Boyz coach said: “We would like to have the best talent on our team.

      “If he gets his former fitness and former levels, then for sure he would have that level to help Jamaica.”
      Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United in January 2022 and charged with attempted rape and assault in October last year, but the charges were later dropped.
      England’s Crown Prosecution Service said key witnesses had withdrawn and new material had come to light, removing a “realistic prospect of conviction”.
      Greenwood, who made his United debut aged 17 and has played 129 times for the club, has a contract at Old Trafford until 2025.
      The English side conducted a six-month internal investigation into Greenwood and decided he should continue his career elsewhere.

      by

      But before revealing the gift, she asked the youngster what he thought of winger Alejandro Garnacho.
      The fan responded: “I don’t really like him.” 
      It left Connolly awkwardly laughing as she replied:  “You don’t really like him?
      “Ah, well this is going to be very interesting because we spoke to the team to let them know about you today.

      “This is going to be quite funny, to be fair. The team all decided that they wanted to gift you a shirt and tell you how happy they are that you’re part of the Manchester United family.
      “You’re going to really giggle at who’s on the back now… because this is what the team wanted to give to you today after we told them. You’ve got Garnacho’s shirt!”
      MUTV presenter Connolly later revealed the fan – named Cameron – was extremely grateful for the present.
      She posted on X: “After this, he literally give me a big hug and said thank you! He’s a trooper.

      “We found out before the game that Cameron just finished chemo two weeks ago and we wanted to give him a treat from his United family!
      “My bad that we got a player he wasn’t a fan of.”
      Cameron would have watched in delight as Scott McTominay’s two late goals saw United beat Brentford 2-1.

      Chelsea are said to also be monitoring Lorran while Guilherme is also garnering attention from Germany with “more than five important European clubs” competing.

      According to Mundo Deportivo, Guilherme has a £52m release clause in his contract and Lorran has a similar £43m buyout price.

      Greenwood had not kicked a ball since January 22 2022 when Manchester United took on West Ham.
      His last goal came three days earlier, in Man Utd’s 3-1 win over Brentford.
      The ex-England striker is making his football comeback with the Spanish La Liga club after his move from Manchester United.
      The winger has slowly been integrated into the Getafe first team since joining the club on September 1.

      His first appearance for the club, saw him met with chants of “Greenwood die” by Osasuna’s travelling support in a LaLiga game.
      The winger has also had to make himself accustomed to his fair share of agricultural challenges with many opposition players upset by his presence in Spain’s top flight.
      In his fifth league appearance for Getafe today, he scored his first goal against Celta Vigo after 33 minutes.
      The game ended up 2-2 and puts Getafe 11th in the LaLiga table.

      Greenwood, 21, was suspended by United after being charged by the Crown Prosecution Service in October 2022 for attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
      The case was withdrawn in February 2023 after key witnesses withdrew their statements and refused to cooperate.
      That left United in a situation which at times looked as though they might bring Greenwood back into their squad.
      However after massive fan backlash and criticism from leading charities, United opted to loan the winger.
      The club said in a statement: “Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged
      “That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.
      “All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United.
      “It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”
      The winger was then able to “rebuild” his career when he sealed a controversial loan move to LaLiga outfit Getafe, who are based in Madrid. More

      Jadon Sancho set for transfer lifeline from Euro giants – if Man Utd fork out HALF of star’s £350,000-a-week wages

      by

      JUVENTUS plan to hand Jadon Sancho an escape route from Old Trafford – and could turn it into a permanent £60million deal next summer.The Italians are keen to sign the dumped Manchester United winger on loan in January, before a potential full-time move at the end of the season.

      They hope United will agree to paying half of Sancho’s wages if he goes, knowing the Reds are keen to put him in the shop window.
      Sancho has been out in the cold since falling out with Erik ten Hag when he was left out of the squad for the trip to Arsenal at the start of September.
      Manager Ten Hag insists he was dropped because of poor performances in training – yet the player claimed on social media that he was being made a scapegoat.
      He has been training away from the first team after refusing to apologise, and his Old Trafford career is almost certainly over.

      Borussia Dortmund were initial favourites to sign Sancho, who spent four years with the Germans before his £73m move to Manchester in 2021.
      But sources claim he is not keen on going back to his former club, and rebuilding his career in Serie A holds greater appeal.
      United know they will end up taking a financial hit, but he is so far out of the picture that it now looks the only option.
      Meanwhile, Old Trafford bosses plan to trigger Victor Lindelof’s 12-month contract clause next month.

      Ten Hag has been impressed by Lindelof’s attitude in regaining his first team slot, and knows AC Milan and Juventus are both keen.
      The Swedish centre-back has yet to decide on his long-term future at the club.
      But with his contract up in the summer, United will trigger the extension, to ensure they don’t lose him for nothing if he does leave. More

      Harry Maguire completely changes Man Utd fans’ minds with crucial role in last-gasp win over Brentford

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE has completely changed some Manchester United fans’ minds after his role in United’s dramatic late comeback against Brentford today.Maguire was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI alongside Jonny Evans at the heart of the United defence amid the club’s ongoing injury crisis.

      But the defender had a solid performance and could not have been blamed for Brentford’s goal which came from an Andre Onana mistake.
      But his starring role came in a surprise capacity as he turned creator for Scott McTominay’s winner.
      Maguire headed the ball in the direction of the Brentford goal from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick and his hoiked header was turned in by game-winner Scott McTominay.
      United fans on Twitter did a complete 180 on Maguire after his assist, with one fan tweeting: “Bro has insanely stepped up his game! Hats off, Harry Maguire!”

      A second wrote: “To all Maguire haters, he played a brilliant game today and assisted the winning goal. Stop abusing him! Enough is enough.”
      A third wrote: “Harry Maguire assist. I think he’s been out best player by far today. And that’s coming from someone who advocated launching him into the sun.
      “Fair play to him and McTominay today. Credit where it’s due. Well done to the pair of them.”
      A fourth tweeted: “Maguire was absolutely terrific today I don’t want to be seeing Lindelöf starting ahead of him at CB ever again.”
