Mason Greenwood's future at parent club Manchester United has now reportedly taken a new twist!
The England international has been on a hot streak in Spain since joining Getafe on loan in August, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 12 appearances, and reports suggest that if he continues to put in good performances, he may find himself playing at Old Trafford once again.

United CEO Richard Arnold announced the decision to send Greenwood out on loan earlier this year, insisting at the time that the 22-year-old had no future at the club.
The executive added that the side will help the forward get his career back on track after charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm levelled against him were dropped in February this year.
Now, however, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe said to be on the verge of securing a 25% stake in the Red Devils and assuming control of the Manchester club's sporting operations, the changes in the boardroom could result in changes on the pitch.
With Arnold set to step down from his position by the end of the year, the British billionaire appears poised to take a different approach to the forward's future, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
He reports that although no clear direction for Greenwood has been mapped out, a decision on his future will be made more towards the end of the season, with the attacker's progress continuing to be monitored closely, seemingly opening the door to a potential return to Old Trafford, especially with the team having struggled in attack so far in this campaign.
"Incoming co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is already discussing Greenwood's situation internally, and from what I'm told, he's made no decision at all and nothing will be decided in December," Romano told Caught Offside.
"So the idea is to take some time and just let Greenwood play football. Then, based on his performances for Getafe, Man Utd will discuss their position and that of the player. This will likely take place in March, April or May.
"There will be many different factors to consider, and obviously the new Man Utd board will have a new CEO and new people in charge of the transfer market, meaning that they will all decide on transfer business together."
