Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has found a new home in Getafe but faces more problems with calls for the Madrid-based side to send him back.

Mason Greenwood’s hope of relaunching his career has faced another setback following calls for his new club to send him back. 

Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood found a place to call home after a loan move to LALIGA side Getafe.

Greenwood joined the Spanish side on deadline day after United and Getafe confirmed the transfer on social media as reported by Pulse Sports.

Case against Greenwood

The forward was charged with attempted rape, assault, and controlling/coercive behaviour after clips and pictures were posted online by his girlfriend.

In February this year, however, the charges were dropped after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed they had a duty to stop the case following the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light.

Despite the CPS dropping the case, that was not the end of the issue for the 21-year-old who remained suspended at hos Premier League club.

The Reds opened an internal investigation on the case and released their findings six months later through a statement that they would be parting ways amicably with the forward.

The Madrid side and their fans celebrated the arrival of the talented forward but their dream of watching him play for their club has received a major setback following calls to send him back.

According to a report by Mirror, the Madrid-based domestic abuse foundation wants to see Greenwood sent back to Old Trafford.

“The club is setting a terrible example,” Ana Bella Estévez, of the Ana Bella Foundation, was quoted to have said. 

“Getafe executives should never have hired Mason Greenwood and should immediately overturn their decision.”

“If you’re a public-facing organisation like Getafe there is no excuse to take a neutral stance on violence against women - you must take moral responsibility,” she added.
