- ‘I can only talk about it in footballing terms,’ says José Bordalás
- Dropped charges ‘too delicate a subject to treat lightly’
The Getafe coach, José Bordalás, believes the Spanish club can help restore the career of Mason Greenwood but that the controversy around the Manchester United striker is not to be taken lightly.
Greenwood has joined Getafe on a season-long loan after 19 months of inactivity at Old Trafford. The player was charged by Greater Manchester police with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault in October 2022 after allegations were made online. The charges, all of which Greenwood denied, were dropped in February this year, with the Crown Prosecution Service saying “a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”.
