Manchester United is in dire need of wide talent after the Jadon Sancho debacle and flop show transfer of Antony. Anthony Martial might also be pushed out of the club in the summer, which presents a need for a player with a profile similar to Greenwood.
Replacement of Mason Greenwood at Manchester United?
There have been some early reports regarding the summer activity of Manchester United. While the future of Erik ten Hag is still far from secure. Several targets have been linked with the Red Devils. As per reports, United will look to sign a right-back, center-back, central midfielder, and a forward in the summer transfer window.
In the forward position, Crystal Palace winger, Michael Olise, has been linked heavily with Manchester United. The 22-year has been impressive since his move to the Premier League in 2021. His last season with Crystal Palace and the start of this season has impressed many clubs in the league,

Olise represents a perfect replacement for Greenwood. Similar profile, age, and English citizenship make Olise a tasty prospect. Mason Greenwood might not be able to return to Manchester United if the Reds could sign the winger from Crystal Palace.

The only thing that Greenwood can do at his end is to keep grinding out more impressive performances for Getafe. Even if Manchester United backs out to bring him back to the Premier League, his impressive numbers can attract other clubs in the English league.
