Mason Greenwood’s loan move to Getafe reportedly includes a break clause in the forward’s contract, which would enable the LaLiga side to send him back to Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Greenwood was confirmed as a Getafe player on Friday after completing a deadline day move.<\/p>\n
Man United had agreed to help Greenwood secure a move to continue his career, after the club announced last month that they had mutually agreed for the 21-year-old to leave.<\/p>\n
Their decision came after\u00a0Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 on suspicion of a number of offences including attempted rape.<\/p>\n
Greenwood was subsequently suspended by the club, however, in February the Crown Prosecution Service subsequently dropped the charges after key witnesses withdrew and new material came to light.<\/p>\n

United then concluded after their own investigation Greenwood did not commit the offences which he was charged with but decided that his future no longer remained at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Greenwood’s season-long loan move to Getafe could be cut short in January, with the Athletic reporting that the Spanish outfit can trigger a break clause.<\/p>\n
The break clause is standard in loan deals, but would allow Getafe to send Greenwood back to Man United if they are unhappy with how the move has developed.<\/p>\n
A club spokesperson defended the signing the forward by stating that Greenwood had been ‘declared innocent’.<\/p>\n
Mail Sport revealed the Spanish club\u2019s interest in Greenwood ahead of the deadline.<\/p>\n
The Spanish club will not be paying a fee for the English forward, but will cover a small contribution for his \u00a375,000-a-week wages for the duration of the loan.<\/p>\n
A domestic abuse charity in Spain has criticised Getafe’s decision to sign Greenwood, calling on the club to overturn its decision.<\/p>\n
Getafe head coach Jose Bordalas has defended the club, but admitted it was a ‘delicate situation’.<\/p>\n
‘It is a very delicate situation to trivialise that issue,’\u00a0Bordalas said.<\/p>\n
‘Everyone knows what happened and appropriate measures were taken. Everyone knows how it ended, with a non-convictory sentence.<\/p>\n
‘He is a footballer of a very high level and arrives at Getafe with enormous enthusiasm.’<\/p>\n
Clubs in the big spending Saudi Pro League had initially been viewed as potential suitors for Greenwood.<\/p>\n
According to the Athletic, the league were wary of a backlash if Greenwood was signed by one of their clubs.<\/p>\n
The concerns came as clubs seek to develop their women’s league and bid for the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup.<\/p>\n
