The one-time England international had not featured for the Red Devils since he was arrested in January 2022 under suspicion of sexual assault, physical assault, and coercion.

Greenwood made his debut for Getafe against Osasuna in LaLiga, making his first appearance in almost two years as the hosts ran out 3-2 winners, and while he received a soothing welcome from the home fans, the away fans were far less graceful.
The stand housing Osasuna fans was rife with vile chants that called for the Manchester United loanee’s death as they tried to destabilise his debut.
In response to the chants, LaLiga is set to open an investigation against Osasuna, with the Pamplona club facing possible punishment for failing to control its fans.
The league could take swift action against Greenwood's abusers in record time, which has left fans questioning yet again why such swift measures rarely meet perpetrators of racist abuse in the same league.
