Last month, Manchester United revealed that the 21-year-old attacker would pursue his career elsewhere.
Following his loan transfer from Manchester United, Mason Greenwood trained with Getafe for the first time and was warmly received by the supporters.
The 21-year-old, who will be formally introduced as a Getafe player on Tuesday evening, was told by United last month that he would be pursuing his career elsewhere.
On January 30, 2022, the Old Trafford club suspended Greenwood due to claims involving a young woman after pictures and videos were uploaded online.
Assault and attempted rape were among the charges leveled against Greenwood, but the Crown Prosecution Service declared in February that the case had been dropped.
A public uproar followed reports that United intended to keep him after an internal probe, and on September 1 it was confirmed he will play in Spain for the season.
In a video greeting on X, formerly known as Twitter, the former England international forward said: “Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here. Getafe has been extensively publicizing Greenwood’s arrival on social media. I’m overjoyed to be here and am eager to get going.
Other pictures showed Greenwood, who hadn’t participated in a competitive game since January 2022, emerging from the tunnel to cheers from spectators before participating in an open training session.
It is a very dangerous situation to trivialize that subject, Getafe manager Jose Bordalas remarked during a press conference following Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Real Madrid, a game in which Greenwood was not engaged.
“Everyone is aware of what happened, and the proper steps were taken. Everyone is aware of how it ended—with a not-guilty verdict.
He is a very accomplished football player who enters Getafe with great excitement. He undoubtedly desires to regain his professional standing, and Getafe can support him in that endeavor.
When asked if bringing in Greenwood may draw criticism, Bordalas responded, “I can only comment at a footballing level.
“We are all aware of his potential. He is a very young youngster, so we hope he can adjust to a League that is extremely different. He undoubtedly desires to regain his professional standing, and Getafe can support him in that endeavor.
