Greenwood was met with enthusiastic applause from the supporters at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. He sported a wide smile as he emerged from the tunnel, stepping onto the pitch donning the team’s blue kit.
Chants of the forward’s name resonated from the stands as he was presented on the field, and he even kicked a ball into the crowd, further igniting the excitement among the fans.
Mason Greenwood will don the No. 12 jersey at Getafe, a change from the No. 11 he wore at Manchester United, as he embarks on a season-long loan stint with the Spanish club. Notably, his contract does not include a purchase option.
In a special unveiling ceremony held at the stadium, Greenwood also expressed his gratitude to the supporters.
“I am very happy to be here,” he said. “I have been training for four or five months, I am getting up to speed and have been training with my team-mates and I feel quite good.
“We take it one game at a time and the next home game is coming in a few weeks and we will try to win and do our best.”
As for his playing debut with Getafe, it remains uncertain since he has not participated in competitive matches since his arrest in January 2022.
In October 2022, he faced charges of attempted rape, assault, and controlling and coercive behaviour, but these charges were subsequently dropped in February
Following a six-month internal investigation, Manchester United decided to part ways with Greenwood, and Getafe acted swiftly to secure a loan agreement with the 21-year-old.
Getafe’s upcoming La Liga fixture is scheduled at home against Osasuna on Sunday, September 17.
