Mason Greenwood, the on-loan forward from Manchester United, participated in his first training session with his new teammates at Spanish La Liga club Getafe on Tuesday.
This attracted the attention of several thousand of his supporters.
Getafe acquired the 21-year-old Greenwood on Friday for the remainder of the season, despite previous allegations of abuse involving a young woman.

In a video message posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Greenwood expressed his excitement, saying,
“Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here. I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Premier League club Manchester United had suspended Greenwood since January 2022 due to the allegations.
However, in February, prosecutors dropped charges, including attempted rape and sexual assault.
United announced last week that after a six-month internal investigation, they had decided to allow Greenwood to rebuild his career away from Old Trafford.

He secured the opportunity to join the club in the Madrid suburbs for the remainder of the season just before the transfer window closed.

Getafe coach Jose Bordalas has promised the club will help Greenwood find “his best level”.
“It is too delicate a situation to trivialise this issue,” Bordalas said on Saturday after Getafe’s 2-1 defeat at Real Madrid.
“Bordalas continued, “Everybody knows what happened, and we took the appropriate measures.”
“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.
“Therefore, (he’s) a free person, a footballer of the highest level, who comes to Getafe with enormous hope,
“We are going to help him to recover his best level.”
