Manchester United will help Mason Greenwood try to rebuild his career in Spain by paying for a luxury villa and a translator.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old joined LaLiga side Getafe on a season-long loan on Friday after United said the striker would leave by mutual agreement following a six-month internal investigation.<\/p>\n
It came after charges against the player, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n
United chief\u00a0John Murtough had taken over discussions over the loan deal after a failure to agree a deal on the player’s wages had threatened to derail the move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the Red Devils agreed a package to facilitate his deadline day move to the Madrid-based club including an \u00a38,000-a-month, six- bedroom city villa close to his new club\u2019s training ground and access to a private translator, according to the Sun.<\/p>\n

Family and friends will be flown out regularly to keep him company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Greenwood will remain a United player during his loan stint at Getafe.<\/p>\n
Getafe announced their loan signing of Mason Greenwood with a video of fans celebrating the former Man United forward’s arrival.<\/p>\n
Supporters had gathered at the club’s\u00a0Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium waiting for an announcement, and begun jumping and chanting when the news did eventually arrive.<\/p>\n
The Spanish club will not be paying a fee for the English forward, but will cover a small contribution for his wages for the duration of the loan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Greenwood hasn’t played competitive football since December 2021, after he was arrested in January 2022 on suspicion of a number of offences including attempted rape.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old 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 their own investigation and judged Greenwood did not commit the offences which he was charged with but decided that his future no longer remained at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Shortly after signing Greenwood, Getafe posted the video of jubilant fans on social media with the caption ‘The Coliseum a few minutes ago.’<\/p>\n

Man United chief John Murtough has taken over discussions for Greenwood\u2019s proposed move<\/p>\n
They had faced competition for the forward, with the likes of\u00a0Olympiacos, Red Star Belgrade\u00a0and Lazio also interested.<\/p>\n
Lazio had held extensive talks over signing Greenwood on the final day of the summer transfer window but ran out of time in order to complete a deal with United.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Italian side’s president, Claudio Lotito, claims Greenwood was keen to join the Serie A club but United did not sign the paperwork in time.<\/p>\n
\u2018I tried until the last minute,\u2019 Lotito told La Lazio Siamo Noi shortly after the Italian transfer window closed on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
