Mason Greenwood made a late move on transfer deadline day with the Manchester United striker joining La Liga side Getafe on a season-long loan
Mason Greenwood is facing calls to be axed from his new Spanish team – just 24 hours after he signed.
The shamed star, 21, was loaned to Getafe after Manchester United ruled he would no longer play for them following an investigation into an alleged attempted rape. Spain’s leading domestic abuse charity on Saturday night called for him to be sent back to Britain, before he has even kicked a ball in La Liga.
Ana Bella Estévez, of the Ana Bella Foundation, said of Madrid based Getafe: “The club is setting a terrible example.”
England striker Greenwood was dropped by United in January 2022. It followed the online leak of a disturbing audio tape of a man said to be of Greenwood. He was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault but the CPS dropped the case in February. He never returned to the pitch with United, and a mooted return sparked a huge backlash among fans including TV present Rachel Riley.
