Mason Greenwood, the star player for Manchester United, has long been the subject of speculation, but it seems as though that time may be running out.
The 22-year-old has been playing for La Liga team Getafe, and because of the way he plays for the team situated in Madrid, people are talking about his football career again instead of his personal life.
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe assumed full control of all football-related affairs at United recently, it is obvious that he will have the final say over whether or not the contentious young player dons a red shirt once more.

Ratcliffe must proceed with extreme caution since Greenwood’s reintegration at Old Trafford remains one of the most sensitive topics.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, “Jim Ratcliffe wants it resolved by the end of May so they (United) can go into the summer knowing what’s happening.”
Although Barcelona is interested in Mason, no action or negotiations will take place until the end of May. There is currently a 50/50 possibility that Mason will make a comeback.
Ratcliffe understands how important it is to get this right and ensure that everyone is satisfied with the decision made.
There is no doubting Mason Greenwood’s skill.
Simply put, there is no football-related problem because Greenwood possesses skill in that area, as anyone with even the slightest interest in the great game can see.
The young player would undoubtedly be on the team for the upcoming season if it was only a football decision.

But Greenwood fell far short of that once audio of him was made public. Man United has traditionally regarded itself as one of the models of football, with players adhering to a particular set of ideals.
There is no avoiding the issue that faces Sir Jim and his decision-makers: the elephant in the room.
