Mason Greenwood has shared a message to Getafe fans for the first time since completing a deadline day loan move from Manchester United.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Spanish club\u00a0will not be paying a fee for the English forward, but will cover a small contribution for his wages for the duration of the loan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Greenwood hasn’t played competitive football since December 2021, after he was arrested in January 2022 on suspicion of a number of offences including attempted rape.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old was subsequently suspended by the club, however, in February the Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the charges after key witnesses withdrew and new material came to light.<\/p>\n
And now, after sealing a temporary move to Spain, the first images of Greenwood with the club’s colours have emerged on social media.<\/p>\n

The club’s official Twitter page shared an image of Greenwood in Getafe colours on Monday night following his shocking move to Spain.<\/p>\n
The winger had a smile on his face as he held up the club’s home strip and posed alongside a large version of their club badge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A video of Greenwood addressing the club’s fans was also posted onto their Twitter account where the forward said: ‘Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started’ before showing a thumbs up to the camera’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former England international is set to be officially presented to Getafe fans, along with their other summer signings, on Tuesday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was confirmed on Monday that the winger will wear the number 12 for the LaLiga side during this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getafe posted a video of jubilant fans on social media after news broke he was to join the Madrid-based club for the season. The club finished 15th in Spain’s top-flight last season.<\/p>\n
There was also interest in signing Greenwood from Lazio, Olympiacos and Red Star Belgrade before he made the move to Spain.<\/p>\n
Lazio held extensive talks over signing the forward on deadline day last Friday but ran out of time to complete a deal with United.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Getafe boss Jose Bordalas recently defended the club’s decision to sign Greenwood and insisted that it was a ‘delicate situation’.<\/p>\n
Asked about the decision to sign the one-cap England international after his side’s 2-1 league defeat at Real Madrid on Saturday, Bordalas told a press conference: ‘It is a very delicate situation to trivialise that issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old forward has not played any competitive football since January last year\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Getafe boss Jose Bordalas has defended the club’s decision to sign the former England striker<\/p>\n
‘Everyone knows what happened and appropriate measures were taken. Everyone knows how it ended, with a non-convictory sentence.<\/p>\n
‘He is a footballer of a very high level and arrives at Getafe with enormous enthusiasm.’<\/p>\n
Initial reports suggest that United may try to reintegrate Greenwood into the first team squad after the conclusion of an internal investigation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
However after massive backlash, particularly online, United revealed last week he would be leaving the club by mutual agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n Mason Greenwood strikes a pose in Getafe colours for the first time since sealing deadline day move from Man United… as forward shares first message […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287534,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
