Mason Greenwood was spotted training with Getafe for the first time since his loan move from Manchester United.
Earlier in the month, it was confirmed that United and Greenwood mutually agreed that the best solution was for the 21-year-old to continue his career away from Old Trafford.
On transfer deadline day, Greenwood completed a loan move to Spanish La Liga side Getafe.

Since Greenwood’s move to Getafe was confirmed, the Spanish club have received criticism from a domestic abuse charity.
Ana Bella Estevez of the Ana Bella Foundation said to the Mirror: “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.”
However, manager Jose Bordales defended the club’s decision to bring in Greenwood, he said: “It is a very delicate situation to trivialise that issue. Everyone knows what happened and appropriate measures were taken.

“Everyone knows how it ended, with a non-conviction. He is a footballer of a very high level and arrives at Getafe with huge enthusiasm.”
Confirming Greenwood's loan move, United said in a statement: “Mason Greenwood has signed for La Liga side Getafe on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance. 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.”
