Mason Greenwood laced up in seven-year-old Nike boots during a training session with his new Getafe team-mates as he attempts to rebuild his career.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United forward is on-loan at the LaLiga club after it was mutually decided that his future remained away from the English giants following an internal investigation.<\/p>\n
Greenwood previously had charges of attempted rape and assault dropped by the Crown Prosecution Services and the player denied any wrongdoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, his original arrest in January 2022 and subsequent charges led to the player being suspended by United while other companies ended sponsorship deals with the 21-year-old.<\/p>\n
Greenwood remains without a boot sponsor after Nike previously dropped the striker from their roster of footballers and later decided against renewing his deal.<\/p>\n

He has since been unveiled as Getafe’s new star striker after completing a Deadline Day move to the club and opted for an old pair of boots during a recent training session.<\/p>\n
The Bradford-born former England international pulled on a pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 boots as he ramps up preparations for his expected debut later this month.<\/p>\n
Nike have since released a further five versions of the prestigious boot model.<\/p>\n
Greenwood was previously seen training in a park wearing Nike\u00a0Phantom GX boots while United waited to decide on whether to reintroduce him back into the first-team.<\/p>\n
His appearance in Spain has received heavy criticism, however, Getafe have been doing their best to make Greenwood feel at home in his new surroundings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Greenwood was previously dropped by Nike and is without a boot sponsor<\/p>\n
The club haven’t been shy in making him the centre-piece of their recent media output with Greenwood being unveiled in front of eager Getafe supporters and have released a lengthy video showcasing his arrival at the club.<\/p>\n
Greenwood demonstrated his delight at being given a new opportunity in senior football after agreeing a move to Spain and said: ‘Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here.<\/p>\n
‘I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.’<\/p>\n
The striker will have to get up to speed following a year away from team training but could make his debut on September, 17 when Getafe host Osasuna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
