MANCHESTER UNITED are willing to sell Mason Greenwood but Barcelona are not interested in a deal, transfer reports say.

Greenwood has been on loan to Getafe this season and has been in good form with eight goals in 27 games.

His performances attracted interest from the likes of Barca, who have been linked with a summer swoop for the ex-England international.

According to Fabrizio Romano for Caught offsideUnited’s directors and Barça chief Deco did meet for talks.

But it is claimed the Spanish giants have no plans for Greenwood at the moment.

However, United are said to be willing to let Greenwood go for good if the right offer is made.

And the club is actively looking for ways to relieve the attacker.

A police investigation into 22-year-old Greenwood was launched in January 2022.

But the charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behavior were later dropped.

United still made the decision to send the striker on loan to Spain, although new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe controversially left the door open for a return.

He said in February: “We will make a decision. I don’t know if he (Greenwood) could have a future.

“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach such decisions.

“Is he the right type of footballer? Are we happy with that? Is he a good person or not?

“He (Greenwood) is a Manchester United footballer and we are responsible for the football.

“So the answer is that it’s pretty clear that we have to make a decision.

“No decision has been made. He is of course on loan, but he is not the only one.

“We have one or two footballers that we have to deal with and make a decision on, so we will do that.

“The process will be: understand the facts, not the hype and then try to come to a fair decision based on values ​​– which basically comes down to whether he is a good guy or not.

“Could he play well for Manchester United and would we feel comfortable with that and the fans would feel comfortable with that?

“I can talk about the principle. This principle is the most important because we will have to deal with other issues in the future.

“You are dealing with young people who have not always been raised in the best circumstances, who have a lot of money and do not always receive the guidance they should receive.

“What we need to do when dealing with these kinds of problems is to understand the real effects, not the hype.

“Then we have to make a fair decision in the light of the club’s values. That’s what we have to do and that’s how we deal with it.”
