More “die” chants have been directed at Mason Greenwood while he is on loan at Getafe from Premier League powerhouse Manchester United.

The 22-year-old forward headed to Spain at the end of the summer transfer window in 2023. With there no way back for him at Old Trafford following his arrest on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive control – despite those charges being dropped – the England international was allowed to leave for La Liga.

On September 17, in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Osasuna, Greenwood made his Getafe debut by coming off the bench. In that game, Osasuna received a punishment because the away team singled him out.

The same group of supporters were at it again when Getafe visited El Sadar on Sunday, with more cries of “Greenwood, die” raining down from the stands. According to Cadena Copa, the Indar Gorri ultras group had urged all fans to condemn Greenwood’s presence on the field and the decision of La Liga president Javier Tebas to let the United-owned attacker play in Spain. Their statement read: “La Liga allows an arrestee accused of rape, grievous bodily harm and controlling and coercive behaviour to play in their competition. Once again, economic interests come ahead of the fight for a society without oppression. A RAPIST WILL PLAY IN OUR STADIUM ON SUNDAY.”

In February 2023, all charges were withdrawn against Greenwood, allowing him to go back to work. Although there have been rumours of interest from other teams due to his five goals during his stay in Spain, but was on the wrong end of another 3-2 scoreline when being reunited with Osasuna.
