Mason Greenwood could join Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League as his future at Manchester United remains uncertain.

Currently on loan in La Liga with Getafe, the 22-year-old has reignited his form, but a return to Old Trafford seems unlikely.

How has Greenwood performed since joining Getafe?

Greenwood's impressive stats speak volumes, with 10 goals across all competitions, eight of which were netted in the Spanish top flight.

According to ESPN, he is the club's second-highest scorer this season, trailing only Borja Mayoral. Additionally, he ranks second in assists (six) in La Liga for his loan club, just behind Diego Rico.

While the Azulones have expressed interest in extending Greenwood's loan, Man United seems inclined towards a permanent transfer, seeking a fee of around €60 million (£51mil/ $64mil), as cited by GOAL.

Although this valuation may pose a challenge for the Spanish club, it might not deter Saudi teams, who have become known for their lavish spending.

Despite Greenwood's preference for a UEFA Champions League club, the allure of significant financial backing could ultimately sway his decision.

Mason Greenwood set to join Ronaldo in Saudi?

After making significant investments and attracting numerous A-list players to join Ronaldo in the Middle East, the Saudi League is eager to make a high-profile signing this summer.

Greenwood has reportedly caught the attention of several clubs in the SPL, and according to Marca, they are considering making an offer that would outshine those from other interested parties.

The report also suggests that Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Serie A giants Juventus have shown interest in the United outcast but might struggle to secure their target due to budget constraints.

How Greenwood can return to Man United

Sports Brief also reported that details have surfaced regarding the conditions required for Greenwood to rejoin Manchester United this summer.

He joined Getafe after facing diminishing prospects at Old Trafford amid backlash from some supporters who opposed his reintroduction to the squad.

Reports from England have suggested the United Academy product will only be permitted to leave with a suitable offer and failing this, he would stay.
