Check out “As Mason Greenwood practiced with Getafe for the first time today, Spanish soccer fans welcomed him with open arms.”
The 21-year-old striker, who is on loan from Manchester United, will be formally introduced as a Getafe player later this evening.
Following an internal review, United said last month that Greenwood will continue his career elsewhere. The club is alleged to have reversed its original decision to keep Greenwood at Old Trafford in response to a public backlash.
Following the dismissal of charges related to attempted rape and assault, he will now try to relaunch his career in Spain.
Getafe has been actively advertising Greenwood’s coming on social media, and in a video message on Twitter, the former England international forward welcomed the Getafe supporters. 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.
The caption of one post said, “We love you Mason Greenwood.” Getafe manager Jose Bordalas said of the claims against the forward during a press conference following Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Real Madrid: “It is a very difficult situation to trivialize the matter.
“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.

Jordan Henderson was discussing his contentious summer transfer to Saudi Arabia with David Ornstein.
The journalist joined this morning to talk about his interview and commended the former Liverpool midfielder for being open and sincere while answering the challenging questions posed to him.
Ornstein remarked on talkSPORT Breakfast, “I appreciated it, speaking to Jordan and having access to him and for him to be what I felt he was upfront and honest in his replies.
“Whether people like it or not is a separate thing; it is up to individuals to decide how they react to his comments on his reasons for moving; he claims it was not financially motivated; where he talks about LGBTQ rights; his Liverpool exit; everyone may have their say over it.
“However, in my opinion, having been there with him, he was genuine, he responded to every question, and overall I believe it’s a little bit of a no-win position for him.
He could anger the Saudis, but he also has the potential to anger LGBTQ rights activists, people in Europe, and residents of Liverpool. It’s a case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
But eventually he had to talk, and I believe the interview is thorough and that he provides a realistic explanation of himself in light of all that has happened.
