Mason Greenwood joined Getafe on loan from Manchester United, the clubs confirmed on transfer deadline day.
Greenwood will spend the season with the La Liga side after United decided to cut ties with the forward following a six-month investigation into his conduct. A criminal case against the 21-year-old following his arrest on suspicion of attempted rape and assault was discontinued in February.
A statement from United read in part: “Mason Greenwood has signed for La Liga side Getafe CF on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance. The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United,” adding: “The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”

Greenwood was implicated in controlling and coercive behavior and assault relating to a woman after images and videos were posted online. Prosecutors in England closed their case in February, saying “a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.”
Greenwood scored 35 goals in 129 appearances for United after making his debut as a teenager in 2019. He has not played a competitive game since January 2022 and has been training alone.
