Greenwood’s international future has been thrown into uncertainty, particularly due to the legal charges he was battling which kept him out of football for about one and a half year.
He was charged with assault, attempted rape, controlling, and coercive behavior in October 2022, but was freed in February 2023, after the accusing party stopped cooperating with those handling the matter.
Mason Greenwood subsequently returned to football in September 2023, after Manchester United stated that the Englishman would continue his football away from Old Trafford.
Greenwood was loaned to Getafe on September 1, 2023, and he has had a bright start to life at the Madrid-based club.
