It would be hard to find a more controversial transfer this summer than Mason Greenwood’s move to Getafe and the 21-year-old has already broken a club record without playing a single minute for the Spanish club.
The forward joined Getafe on a season-long loan from Man United on Deadline Day as the youngster looks to rebuild his career away from the UK limelight following his arrest in 2022.
The controversial footballer has been welcomed with open arms at the La Liga club and following his unveiling in front of supporters at the Coliseum stadium in Madrid, Greenwood has now sold more Getafe shirts with his name on the back in a week than any other player in the club’s history, reports Mike Keegan.

The signing of Greenwood, a former Man United star, is a huge deal for a small club like Getafe but the circumstances in which the footballer is being celebrated leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
The Premier League giants decided to part ways with the 21-year-old due to the controversy surrounding his arrest in 2022, despite being cleared of all charges this year. However, the evidence of his crime can easily be found and that will forever follow the youngster throughout his playing career.
The bottom line is the legal system freed him, how many clergy and celebrities, not to mention politicians did far worst yet they were forgiven once the due processes went in their favour. And it’s so odd that the young female victum never publically objected to his release and not guilty verdict..so yeah the Getafe fan’s has all the right to go crazy about him..I hope a certain ms.riley takes note and clap hands
This should tell MU what sort of idiots they are. No one with any common sense would convict a person when even the police cannot find evidence to charge him. The hypocrites – self proclaimed guardians of morality charged and convicted him. True fans will not do something so immoral. They will support the innocent.
Shit MU
Well put buddy, the reds are hypocrites, they have opened up a door for other hypocrites to create a mess in the club….done with greedwood now is anthony’s
Mason Greenwood was a great player for Man Utd, and I hope he does well for Getafe, and scores plenty for them, then have a move completed next summer if Getafe think he is good enough to do a job for them for years to come.
I just don’t get the way Manchester united thinks of someone unveiled to be innocent as in every hero has a mistake behind but forgiveness is required in everything
As a staunch Man United Fan, I am so much disappointed by the decision made by the club victimizing such a great talent yet we are having huge problems in the attacking force ,it’s a total shame.
