Greenwood, 22, joined the Madrid-based club last September in a bid to rebuild his career after he had charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault dropped six months earlier.
And according to Getafe president Angel Torres, the United brass are planning to get rid of their academy product in the coming months.
When asked about potentially re-signing Greenwood, he told Radio Marca (via Mundo Deportivo): “If it depends on the boy and the parents, he will continue another year.
“Manchester, the news we have from last week, the thing is that if there is a good offer they would like to sell.
“Because he is not going to return there.
“So we are going to have to wait a month and a half or two months, until the end of June.”
“But it depends on him and the family.

“They are very comfortable and very happy with the fans.
“He had not played for 16 months when he arrived and we have recovered him, he has scored 8 goals in the League and 2 in the Cup and he has given a great performance.
“What I think is that he is going to stay. It’s going to be another year or half a year, until January.
“This year starting from scratch can be a spectacle.”
United have yet to make an official decision on Greenwood’s future at Old Trafford.
But new shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently opened the door for a shock return for the England international.
He said: “We will make a decision, correct. All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that.
“Is he the right type of footballer, are we happy with if he’s a good person or not?
“He’s a Manchester United footballer, so we are in charge of football.
“So the answer is ‘Yeah, we have to make decisions.

“It’s quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that’s been made.
“He’s on loan, obviously, but he’s not the only one.
“We’ve got one or two footballers that we have to deal with and we have to make a decision on so we will do that.
“The process will be: Understand the facts, not the hype.
“Then try and come to a fair decision on the basis of values, which is basically is he a good guy or not?
“Could he play sincerely for Manchester United well, would we be comfortable with it and would the fans be comfortable with it?”
Greenwood has performed well during his brief stay in Spain, scoring ten goals and providing six assists in 32 matches.
His impressive form has reportedly caught the eye of Italian giants Juventus, who are said to be keen on signing him this summer.
Greenwood and his Getafe team-mates will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, travelling to Andalucia to take on Cadiz.
