Rio Ferdinand has said he would need a conversation with Mason Greenwood to “find out where his head is at” before deciding on the striker’s future at manchester united.
The 22-year-old joined Getafe on a season-long loan in September after a 19-month spell without playing for United after Greater Manchester Police charged him with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior and assault.
However, all charges against Greenwood were eventually dropped and he subsequently moved to Spain at the start of the 2023/24 season to resume playing after United insisted there would be “difficulties in him recommending his career” in Old Trafford.
The striker has 12 months left on his current contract with United and was linked with a summer move to Serie A giants Juventus this week, with Napoli also said to be interested in the England international.
But when asked about Greenwood’s future at Old Trafford, Ferdinand insisted it should be “a decision for the club and not just one person.”
“I would also need to talk to him and find out where his head is at,” said the six-time first division winner Ferdinand told MailSport. “(To) find out the temperature in the club. I would probably even contact the appropriate fan groups. I think it is a real decision of the club and not a decision of one person.”
