Mason Greenwood’s ex-teammates at Man Utd share public support for first time after stunning long-range goal for Getafe

MASON Greenwood’s former Manchester United teammates have lent their support to the player on his Instagram for the first time since his Spanish move.

Greenwood made a high-profile move to the Getafe FC in September after United were set to bring him back into the team, but decided to loan the player after fan pressure.

Comments by the players have been left on an Instagram video posted by the official Getafe FC account.

The video shows Greenwood scoring Saturday’s wonder strike against Almeria, when he slotted the ball in the corner from the edge of the box.

Greenwood has the comments turned off on his own personal posts, but he has also reposted his club’s short clip of his strike where the comments remain on.

Amad Diallo, the 21-year-old United right midfielder from Ivory Coast was one of Greenwood’s former teammates to comment.

“Love this, bro,” he said, along with a red love heart emoji.

Diallo has taken to Instagram before to support Greenwood. In September he posted an image of himself watching Getafe along with two love hearts, the Mirror reports.

Like Greenwood, he has also spent time off the pitch, but for injury reasons instead.

Nottingham Forest forward Anthony Elanga also commented, saying “Que golazo,” or ‘What a goal’ with a love heart eyes emoji to his former United teammate.

Greenwood has had a difficult relationship with United as intense fan pressure prevented him from returning for the club and his teammates didn’t want him back either.

In February, Greenwood purged his Instagram of 100 posts as he began his return to professional football.

Many of the other comments left called for Greenwood to return to Old Trafford.

But a report says that Getafe FC could be keen to extend their contract with the Brit if he continues to play well as English scouts also sit in the stands.

A minority of comments on the post also referred to what had led to Greenwood’s shift to the Spanish capital – a rape charge in October 2022.

Greenwood was taken off the United pitch after he was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, assault, and controlling and coercive behaviour in January 2022.

Greenwood denied all the charges.

Key witnesses eventually withdrew from the case and the Crown Prosecution Service announced in February 2023 it had discontinued the charges.

Manchester United then started their own internal investigation with the plan to bring Greenwood back into the team.

That investigation ended in August, but after huge fan pressure and internal backlash, Greenwood was sent to the La Liga side on a season-long loan.
