'Popularity in Spain'

There is a player who Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag did not even look at until the end, and the club made it a target for sale. However, popularity is on the march in La Liga, Spain. As many as four clubs have actively entered the recruitment process. This is the story of Mason Greenwood (23), once a star from Manchester United's promising Sunggol Youth. La Liga's recruitment competition for Greenwood is hot.

British media Cutoffside reported on the 8th (Korea time) that four La Liga clubs are trying to recruit an ace from Manchester United who scored 16 offensive points last season. This reflects La Liga's keen interest in Greenwood.

Greenwood, a former United youngster who was considered the "future of the team", almost blew his career at one point. In January 2022, a woman claimed to have been subjected to violence and sexual assault by Greenwood. He also posted pictures of the damage on social media. A police investigation has been launched. Greenwood's career seemed to end there.

However, after a year of investigation, Greenwood was cleared of all charges as prosecutors abandoned their indictment. However, public opinion has already deteriorated. In addition, the atmosphere inside the conservative Manchester United club did not welcome Greenwood's return. At the heart of it was head coach Ten Hach.

In the end, Greenwood had to continue his career again last season on loan at Getafe in La Liga. But this is where the anti-war drama unfolded. Greenwood displayed such good form that his absence over a year was overshadowed. Having quickly adapted to La Liga's style, Greenwood played in 31 games at Getafe last season, scoring 10 goals and six assists. He was named Getafe 'Player of the Year'.

Thanks to this performance, several clubs in La Liga want Greenwood to be fully recruited. Manchester United also has no plans to use Greenwood in accordance with Ten Hach's will. He went out to sell it to a club that pays a proper transfer fee.

Cutoffside said Valencia, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Getafe, who played last season, are now seeking to sign Greenwood. Citing the Mirror's report, the media reported that the Valencia club has already offered a £25 million transfer fee.

Greenwood can play as a right flank winger as well as a central striker. Perfect for La Liga style. Manchester United currently set a £40 million transfer fee at the appropriate price. It is somewhat different from Valencia's offer. There is a possibility that other competing clubs will offer new transfer fees after seeing negotiations between Valencia and Manchester United.
