GETAFE have turned on the charm to persuade Mason Greenwood his future lies in Spain.
The striker joined the LaLiga side on loan in September as Manchester United ruled he could not play for them after he was charged with various offences.

Greenwood denied all the charges and they were later dropped by the CPS.
He was farmed out to the Spaniards on transfer deadline day to try to rebuild his career away from the spotlight.
And he has bagged three goals and two assists in nine games, settling into the Spanish way of life with his partner and baby daughter.
The 22-year-old remains a United player and is under contract until 2025.
But Getafe bosses are hoping to prise Greenwood away from Old Trafford sooner and plan to open talks for a deal.
A source said: “Getafe have discussed trying to get United round the table so they can make an offer, which they believe could be attractive to United to get Mason off their wage bill.
“The likelier option is United agree for the loan to be extended as they know that Mason is happy and rebuilding his life.
“They know he needs to grow up and want him to do so — and so far the Getafe loan has worked out well for everyone.”
But it comes after transfer guru Paul Mitchell reportedly watched Greenwood in last Monday's 1-0 defeat of Cadiz.
Mancunian Mitchell, 42, has been linked with joining the Red Devils once Sir Jim Ratcliffe completes his 25 per cent buy-in of the club
