Southampton fans attacked Mason Greenwood at Old Trafford in early 2022, a Manchester United talent whom the Red Devils removed from the team and whose doors to the English team were slammed after his partner denounced the soccer player with images of bruises, a bloody lip, some audios where he allegedly forced her to have sexual relations, and a police investigation for sexist violence. The court closed the case in February of this year.

The prosecution explained that the withdrawal of witnesses and the lack of evidence prevented further investigation. The player was free of charges. Following the resolution of the public process, which was resolved without any trial, Manchester United undertook its own investigation to decide the player's future, according to the BBC. He did not play for 18 months and the English club sought his return, but rejected the plan after social pressure.


The fans did not want him at the Theater of Dreams, where he accumulated a total of 129 games with the first team, although his contract of more than four million euros per year is still valid. According to The Athletic, several teams in Saudi Arabia rejected the offer of the attacker of Jamaican origin, including Atalanta, Roma, Milan and Borussia Dortmund. He ended up on loan at Getafe, where few signings, closed on the horn of the closing of the Spanish summer market, caused so much surprise and controversy.


The player returned to football and also with his girlfriend Harriet Robson, who after the complaints went to the Coliseum with the son they both had together this summer. The one from Bradford was received as a star south of Madrid, and despite the fact that the team led by José Bordalás included in his contract a termination clause enforceable in January to anticipate potential problems that the boy could have off the playing field, Nothing seems to indicate that this is going to happen.

The resurgence in Spain


The '12' has adapted perfectly to the playing style of a team that seems to have shed its skin this season, in which they find themselves with greater inspiration in front of the rival goal and with some disconnections at the back. The English international has become, along with the revelation of Borja Mayoral, a key player for the Alicante coach. His last performance at the Metropolitano, where Getafe scored an epic point against Atlético de Madrid, showed signs of his wonderful stride and his multiple resources, with changes of pace and audacity for his side. A differential one-on-one player who was a torment for Simeone's defense.
