After allegations of violence: insults from abandoned fans during Greenwood’s comeback

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Mason Greenwood (21) had to wait four rounds for his first appearance in his new home base Getafe. Sunday was the day. He celebrated his competitive debut in Spain in the league match between Getafe and Osasuna. It was also the Englishman’s comeback to professional football. He last played in a league match in January 2022, for Manchester United.

It is the 77th minute when Greenwood comes on as a substitute with the score at 2-2. There is immediately a frenzied applause from the home fans. The welcome in the guest block is less warm. ‘Greenwood muérete’, the Osasuna supporters shout at the professional’s address, translated: ‘Greenwood die.’

Not impressed by insults

The disparaging action of the visiting fans goes back to Greenwood’s history. In January 2022, Greenwood’s girlfriend made violent accusations against the professional. There were allegations of attempted rape, bodily harm and assault.

His then club Manchester United subsequently suspended Greenwood. About nine months later he was arrested for attempted rape. However, in January 2023, the charges were dropped due to the withdrawal of key witnesses and new statements. At the end of August, Greenwood was loaned out by Manchester United to Getafe after angry protests from fans.

Despite the unfriendly reception from the guests, Greenwood does not let himself be fooled in the new team and plays surprisingly strong and free. The striker even takes the corner kick, which then leads to the 3-2 winning goal. The coach and his own fans are delighted after his 25-minute effort. (Gentlemen)
