Many Getafe fans have welcomed Mason Greenwood after the ex-manchester United player was seen training with other members of the club for the first time.
United announced last month that the 21-year-old, who will be officially presented as a Getafe player on Tuesday evening, to continue his career on loan.
Greenwood was suspended by the Old Trafford club on January 30, 2022, over assault allegations by a young woman.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced in February that the case had been discontinued.
Getafe has been promoting Greenwood’s arrival heavily on social media and, in a video message on X, formerly known as Twitter, the once-capped England forward said: “Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here. I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Speaking on Mason’s arrival, Getafe boss Jose Bordalas said:
“It is a very delicate situation to trivialise that issue.
“Everyone knows what happened and appropriate measures were taken. Everyone knows how it ended, with a non-convictory sentence.”
“He is a footballer of a very high level and arrives at Getafe with enormous enthusiasm. Surely he wants to recover his professional status and Getafe can help him in that sense.”
Asked if signing Greenwood might prompt an unfavourable reaction, Bordalas added: “I can only speak at a footballing level.
“We all know the potential he has. He is a very young boy and we hope that he adapts to a very different league. Surely he wants to recover his professional status and Getafe can help him in that sense.”
