Mason Greenwood has broken his silence after being excluded from Manchester United's squad and securing a loan move to La Liga outfit Getafe.

The 21-year-old received the news from the Red Devils that he wouldn't be part of their plans for the 2023-24 season following an extensive internal investigation.

Since January 2022, Greenwood has been absent from competitive matches.

In February 2023, charges of attempted rape, controlling behaviour, and assault against him were dropped, paving the way for his return to professional football.

Manchester United actively sought offers for the one-time England international, and there were reported interests from clubs in Italy and Turkey.

Ultimately, a deal was struck that saw Greenwood move to Spain as he looked for a fresh start away from his homeland.

Greenwood has told the English-language Twitter account set up by his new club: “Hi Getafe fans, it's Mason here. I'm so happy to be here and I can't wait to get started.”

Getafe coach Jose Bordales has said of welcoming the fleet-footed winger into his squad: "It is too delicate a situation to trivialise this issue. Everybody knows what happened, and the appropriate measures were taken.

"Obviously we can only talk about football; about other issues, I think, 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 recover his best level."

Greenwood has the international break to continue working on his fitness, and it is possible that he could make his debut for Getafe when they face Osasuna on September 17.
