MASON Greenwood has signed for a Spanish team on loan just minutes before the transfer window closed.

The striker, 21, has not played since January 2022 after being arrested.

La Liga club Getafe have completed a last minute loan deal for the striker

All charges were dropped this February but the Old Trafford outfit said Greenwood would leave the club last week.

And now La Liga club Getafe have completed a last minute season-long loan deal for Greenwood, subject to international clearance.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Spanish team travels to Real Madrid, though it’s unlikely he’ll be registered in time.

In Getafe’s match against Osasuna on September 17, Greenwood is most likely to make his debut.

According to reports, United will not be paying a loan fee for Greenwood and will be paying the majority of his salary.

The Madrid-based side will also cover a small contribution for his wages for the duration of the loan.

A United club statement read: “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United.

“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”

Getafe is presently ranked twelve in the league and plays in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, which has a seating capacity of 17,393.

According to MailOnline, Chief John Murtough has taken over the planning for the transfer to Getafe.

Prior to SunSport’s exclusive story that United had changed its mind in response to the explosive response, Greenwood had supposedly been on track to be welcomed back into the fold.

It was said that similar public backlash concerns prevented other English clubs from allowing Greenwood to return to the field.

The transfer window deadline passed for English clubs at 11pm, with initial inquiries from domestic teams not followed up.

Greenwood, who makes £75,000 a week, might have left United liable for up to £8 million if he hadn’t been sold.

He has two years left on his contract, and the club has the option to extend it by another year, so this is the case.

Greenwood had no choice but to be compelled to join a club overseas.

Today morning, Greenwood was reportedly granted a last-ditch reprieve by Lazio, a top European team, but the Italian deadline had passed by 7 o’clock.

There were no inquiries from Saudi Arabia, where teams have already signed Karim Benzema, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo this season.

The Saudi Arabian deadline expires on September 7.
