Getafe acquired former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood on loan on Friday after the English player left his old club following a criminal investigation into a possible attempted rape that was closed by prosecutors. Greenwood will join Getafe which is likely to fight to avoid relegation.
Prosecutors in England closed the 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."
The deal was announced on the summer transfer window deadline day. The 21-year-old England forward has not played for United since January 2022. Mason Greenwood was implicated in controlling and coercive behavior and assault relating to his girlfriend after images and videos were posted online. He now has a chance to revive his footballing career once again. Once destined to be the next big thing will not fight for it's survival.
United and the player decided it was best to part ways and for him to find a new club. "The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United," United said in a statement. "The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition."
