Barcelona weigh up a move for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood next summer, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood in 2024.

The 22-year-old was told by the 20-time English champions over the summer that he had no future at Old Trafford, which led to him moving to Getafe on loan for the season.

Greenwood has been in impressive form for the capital outfit, managing four goals and three assists in 13 appearances in all competitions, including two goals and three assists in La Liga.

Getafe's president has expressed a desire to sign the forward on a permanent basis next year, while there is also believed to be interest from Real Sociedad and Valencia.

According to talkSPORT, Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the situation, with the Catalan outfit sending scouts to watch him in action during the 2023-24 campaign.

The report claims that Atletico Madrid are also monitoring the developments, with Man United set to let him leave on a permanent basis at the end of the season.

At the start of last year, following accusations from a woman, the forward was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault, and he was then further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

Greenwood was also facing charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but there is no longer a case against him, and he had allegedly expected to return to the Man United first team this season.

The Red Devils are believed to have initially made the decision to bring him back but then changed their minds due to the public backlash.

There have recently been claims that Greenwood could come back into the first team at Man United, although it is still thought to be highly unlikely due to the sensitive nature of the situation.

The forward has scored 35 goals and registered 12 assists in 129 appearances for Man United in all competitions, and he has a contract with Erik ten Hag's side until June 2025.

A number of Premier League clubs are also thought to be keeping a close eye on the situation, although it would be a huge surprise if he joined another English team.

Greenwood scored 17 times for the Red Devils during the 2019-20 campaign, while he managed six goals in the first half of the 2021-22 season before he was suspended by the club.
