Mason Greenwood returns to Manchester United with an emotional statement after his Getafe loan

Mason Greenwood has confirmed that his loan spell at Getafe is over and the striker is returning to Manchester United.

Greenwood has been on loan in Spain since August deadline day. He was suspended by United in January 2022 amid allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.

A lengthy investigation into the case then followed, with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropping all charges against Greenwood in February 2023. A United statement at the time read: “Manchester United notes the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision that all charges against to Mason. Greenwood has been dropped, the club will conduct its own process before determining next steps.

During his time at the La Liga club, Greenwood made 36 appearances, scoring ten goals in the process. His last appearance this season came in the 2-1 defeat to Mallorca.

After the game, Greenwood said goodbye to his temporary club on Instagram. He wrote: “Incredibly grateful to the Getafe family and fans for an amazing season.

“Thank you for making me feel welcome and one of yours. I enjoyed every second with my teammates and the club.

“A bittersweet ending, but it was a pleasure to play for you, I wish you all the best.” Greenwood is contracted to United until the summer of 2025, but his future at Old Trafford remains unclear.

MEN Sports understands that the working hypothesis is that the striker will be sold, but it is not known whether it will be to Getafe or another club.
