Mason Greenwood has been informed by Getafe’s boss Jose Bordalas that the club will help him “recover his best level.”
This came after the charges against the player, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped in February 2023.
Mason Greenwood was not included in Getafe’s squad in Saturday’s match which they were defeated 2-1 by Real Madrid.
In the post-match conference at Santiago Bernabeu, Bordalas said: “It is too delicate a situation to trivialize this issue.”
“Everybody knows what happened, the appropriate measures were taken.”
“Obviously we can only talk about football, about other issues, I think, that the people and the relevant systems did what they had to do, and everybody knows how it ended – without a condemnatory sentence.”
“He’s a footballer of the highest level, who comes to Getafe with enormous hope. We are going to help him to recover his best level.”
Manchester United in their statement said the move “enables Mason Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United”.
Why Did United Axe Greenwood?
Manchester United let Greenwood go on leave after they concluded their internal investigation over rape allegations which was carried out in 6 months.
The Red Devils released a statement in August saying: “Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offenses in respect of which he was originally charged.”
Mason Greenwood, whose contract at United was meant to expire in 2025, scored 35 goals in 129 games for the club since his debut in 2019 aged 17.
However, the Englishman has not played at the club since he was arrested in October 2022 after he was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, assault, and actual bodily harm.
The player also saw his sponsorship with Nike discontinued and he was subsequently removed from EA sports squads on FIFA 22 game.
The charges against Mason Greenwood were dropped in February 2023 and the Crown Prosecution Service revealed that key witnesses had withdrawn and the new evidence was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”.
Manchester United commenced an internal investigation on the player who was previously dubbed as one of the most valuable players in Europe’s top five leagues.
After United concluded their investigation, they revealed that: “All those involved, including Mason, recognize the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United.”
“It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford.”
What Happened To Mason Greenwood?
Mason Greenwood, 21, was arrested in January 2022 amid allegations surrounding sexual assault and attempted rape.
The Englishman was later charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault involving actual bodily harm.
His girlfriend Harriet Robson took to her Instagram and posted evidence of these allegations.
However, in February 2023, charges of attempted rape and assault were dropped against the Manchester United footballer.
What will remain on everyone’s lips is if the Englishman will move back to being one of the most valuable youngsters ever again.
