Manchester United decided to send Mason Greenwood on loan at the start of the season to La Liga outfit Getafe.
The deal went through on deadline day and it doesn’t look like Greenwood will ever play for the Reds again, despite Richard Arnold’s initial plans to reintegrate the England international to the squad following the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to drop all charges of abuse that were made against him.
Mason Greenwood has attributed his impressive start to his Getafe career to his teammates and fans.
Since Greenwood’s move to Spain, the 22-year-old has scored three goals and registered four assists in 15 appearances which has led to him being linked with a number of bigger clubs ahead of next season.
Getafe have made it clear that they will try to keep the forward, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to compete for his signature this summer.
Furthermore, Greenwood was named Player of the Month for December and he has done a rare interview after picking up the award.
Greenwood opens up about life in Spain and how the Getafe fans have helped him settle in a new environment with his young family. He told Getafe’s official YouTube channel: “Everything’s fine, I adapted pretty quickly. My team-mates took me under their wing and I’ve just been happy ever since coming here, training and playing the games.
“The fans mean a lot to me. The best feeling so far is when I scored my first goal here at the stadium and it meant a lot to me, I heard the fans quite a lot.
“Also we had the training day and a lot of fans came out and watched so we always appreciate the fans, they’re like an extra man out there on the pitch when they’re out there supporting us.”
Though with Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to arrive at Old Trafford imminently, it remains to be seen whether Greenwood is even sold at all when the season concludes. The 72-year-old has acquired a 25 per cent stake in his boyhood club but the Premier League has not ratified the investment yet, meaning that all key decisions are being put on pause until that point.
