And while the La Liga side have performed well in that department so far this term, with the eighth-best attacking record in the division, much of the heavy lifting is being done by Mayoral. The 26-year-old, formerly of Real Madrid, has scored five league goals in 2023/24, which is more than double that of his closest team-mate, and five times as many as Greenwood.
Back in August, United spoke out on the striker’s future after conducting a lengthy internal investigation into allegations of attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and controlling and coercive behaviour. Greenwood denied the charges and they were dropped by prosecutors earlier this year.
