Mason Greenwood finally reveals what Ruben Amorim told him after he expressed his desire to return to Old Trafford
Mason Greenwood has opened up about the real reason behind the stalled possibility of his Manchester United comeback, and his revelation has added unexpected drama to the club’s ongoing story. The forward admitted that he approached his current club to ask for an early contract termination, not because of poor performances, but because of an overwhelming emotional pull to return to Old Trafford — the place he still considers home.
According to Greenwood, the response he received from Ruben Amorim was nothing close to what he hoped for, leaving him “upset and disappointed.” People close to the player insist that Greenwood’s heart has always been at Manchester United, and his recent strong form away from England has only made him more confident that he is ready for a fresh chapter back in the red shirt.
Greenwood revealed that he spoke privately with Amorim to express his desire to return to Manchester, but the reaction he received stunned him. Instead of encouragement or a willingness to hold discussions, Amorim’s reply was reportedly sharp and dismissive. Sources say Greenwood walked away from the meeting feeling “ignored” and “disrespected,” which deepened the emotional weight of the situation for him.
One insider claimed that Greenwood expected at least a conversation filled with understanding, but instead, he was made to realise that leaving his current club would not be made easy. Though the exact details of Amorim’s words remain undisclosed, the tone was serious enough to leave Greenwood feeling hurt.
This emotional confession has now placed the Manchester United board under immense scrutiny. Fans have been extremely vocal across social media, insisting that the club must act fast. With the team needing extra firepower in attack and supporters rallying behind the idea of his return, many believe the board can no longer stand by quietly. Reactions online have been explosive, with fans calling on United’s hierarchy to intervene and ensure Greenwood is given the green light to come back. Many insist his bond with Old Trafford is too strong to ignore.
Despite thriving abroad, Greenwood reportedly feels like his Manchester United journey remains incomplete. Those close to him say he often speaks about his emotional attachment to the club, insisting that the feeling of calling United “home” has never faded. His desire to return is firm, and he believes the timing is right.
These developments also place a spotlight on Ruben Amorim’s decisions and leadership style. While the manager is known for having a strong sense of direction for the squad, many supporters fear that blocking the return of a player who genuinely wants to be at the club might create unnecessary tension. Some fans worry United could lose the chance to reintroduce a player who has the potential to transform their attacking output.
Social media has been buzzing with frustration, shock, and heavy emotions, as supporters wait to see what the club’s next move will be following Greenwood’s revelation. For now, Manchester United are fully aware of his interest in coming back, and internal discussions have already begun. If Amorim stands firm in his decision, the board may be forced to step in directly.
Many insiders believe this saga will continue for some time, but with Greenwood’s emotional bond to Old Trafford remaining as strong as ever, a comeback feels increasingly possible — unless Amorim continues to stand in the way.
