      Greenwood, 22, headed to LaLiga last month after bosses ruled he could not continue his career at Old Trafford following an investigation into his off-field behaviour.
      The former England international was set to be welcomed back into the fold at United before SunSport exclusively reported the club had made a U-turn following a backlash from fans.
      He was arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      However, all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.

      A spokesperson said at that time: “We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review.
      “In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
      “In these circumstances, we are under a duty to stop the case. We have explained our decision to all parties.
      “We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.”

      Greenwood has made five appearances for Getafe thus far, scoring his first goal against Celta Vigo on October 8.
      According to the Mirror, Sevilla are lining up a swoop for Greenwood – whose United contract expires in the summer of 2025.
      The Red Devils are believed to still be paying the majority of his £75,000 a week wages.
      Sevilla won last season’s Europa League, qualifying for this season’s Champions League in the process.
      A source told SunSport, however, that Greenwood is hoping to stay at Getafe for the foreseeable future, saying: “The players and fans have all given him a welcome he could only have dreamed of.
      “He really feared his career was over. Now he’s just so happy and  wants to carry on playing and not think too far ahead.” More

      Erik ten Hag’s ‘dream Man Utd transfer plan’ to bring in three world-class stars KO’d by takeover setback

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag has been denied a sensational triple transfer plan after the club’s latest takeover twist.United’s unpopular owners the Glazers have snubbed Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani’s sixth offer worth more than £6billion in total.

      Sheikh Jassim’s offer would have included cash to redevelop the facilities, fund an Old Trafford rebuild and clear the existing debt.
      This clears the way for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is set to buy a 25 per cent stake in the club for £1.4bn with the Glazer family still at the helm after the Qatari bid formally pulled out on Saturday.
      Sheikh Jassim accused United’s owners of demanding an “outlandish” price to sell the club.
      The Red Devils’ chiefs are set to sign off on Ratcliffe’s investment at a board meeting this coming week and the INEOS founder will have control over the football side of things.

      According to Bild, that will cost Ten Hag some major transfer reinforcement.
      That is because Sheikh Jassim was planning to bring Kylian Mbappe, Kingsley Coman and Eduardo Camavinga to Old Trafford.
      Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe will become a free agent in June and looks set to join Real Madrid.
      However, the Qatari banker was planning to put his billions to good use and steal Mbappe from under Real’s nose.

      The Sheikh was determined to do the same with the star striker’s France team-mates.
      Coman and Camavinga have a contract with Bayern Munich and Real respectively until 2027.
      Camavinga was previously targeted by United when he still played for Rennes.
      And it now seems like the midfielder will play a key role in Los Blancos’ future with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric stepping aside due to their advanced age. More

      by

      And he is now attracting interest from a big-name Premier League club.
      According to South London Press, Man Utd could make a play for the centre-back in the summer.
      If they are to acquire the defender, it is understood he will cost in excess of the £50million the Red Devils paid for Aaron Wan-Bissaka four years ago.
      That means Palace would receive a club-record fee for Guehi.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      However, Man Utd face competition from the Palace star’s former club, Chelsea.
      That is because the Blues hold matching rights on any offer Palace accept for their man.
      Guehi has made 91 appearances for the West London club since joining two years ago.
      He has formed an impressive partnership alongside Joachim Andersen.

      He has also earned six England caps and started both of the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 qualifiers in September.
      He was also included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for this month’s games against Australia and Italy.
      And he would be a welcome addition to Man Utd’s squad.
      Erik ten Hag has suffered injury blows to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane at the start of the season.
      It has left him relying on Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
      Man Utd have lost six of their opening 11 games in all competitions. More

      Bruno Guimaraes’ new £120k-a-week Newcastle contract ‘includes secret transfer clause’

      by

      BRUNO GUIMARAES’ new contract at Newcastle is filled with a secret transfer clause, according to reports. The Brazilian put pen to paper on a new deal earlier this month.

      His deal is said to have a £100m release clause inserted into itCredit: Rex
      Guimaraes signed terms to keep him at St. James’ Park for another five years to 2028.
      The 25-year-old is now said to be earning £120,000 a week after receiving a tidy pay boost for his efforts since joining Newcastle in January 2022.
      It also saw an eye-watering £100million release clause added to his deal.
      However, Spanish outlet Sport claim there is a “secret clause in Barcelona’s favour” inserted into the contract.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Barcelona are long-term admirers of Guimaraes but failed to stump up the money while the midfielder was still at Lyon.
      But the clause inserted into his new Toon deal means the cash-strapped giants can exploit a favourable transfer deal.
      The clause itself gives Barcelona the chance to pay a fee under the normal release clause.
      This discount price is said to shave off around £40m from the total fee.

      The report suggests Barca would need to pay between £56m and £61m to strike a deal.
      However, the club would first need to sell players to make a transfer viable.
      Guimaraes is said to have made no secret of his desire to one day play for Barcelona.
      The midfielder has made himself a fan favourite since arriving, scoring 11 goals and adding eight assists in 68 games.
      Arsenal fans were left convinced they would pay the £100m fee for Guimaraes after he praised compatriot Gabriel Martinelli for his winner against Manchester City. More

      Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma ‘wanted in life-changing transfer’ after ‘seducing’ Champions League giants

      BRIGHTON star Kaoru Mitoma’s stunning performances have earned him interest from one of Europe’s biggest clubs.Mitoma burst on to the scene last season with seven goals and six assists in 33 appearances in the Premier League.

      The winger is kicking it up a notch this term with three goals and four assists in 11 matches across all competitions.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been “seduced” by the 26-year-old’s exploits with the Seagulls.
      In fact, Barca’s scouts and staff are most amazed with the Japan international out of all of their other transfer targets.
      Mitoma has won the Blaugrana over thanks to the way he breaks defences from the left wing.

      And Barcelona manager Xavi lacks firepower on that side of the field with full-back Alejandro Balde having to do the heavy lifting in LaLiga and the Champions League.
      The Spanish tactician has plenty of choices for the right wing with the likes of Raphinha , Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal available.
      But the Spanish champions are confident Mitoma is their answer for the left.
      However, a move in January is highly unlikely as the Japanese star’s contract runs out in 2025.

      But a summer bid is very possible, especially if Mitoma doesn’t pen fresh terms with Brighton.
      That would force Roberto De Zerbi’s side to discuss a deal as they would lose him for free the year after.
      Nevertheless, Brighton are notoriously tough negotiators, who recently sold Moises Caicedo to Chelsea for a Premier League record £115million fee. More
