MASON Greenwood was met with football fans chanting “die” during his debut with Spanish La Liga side Getafe.
His new team took a 3-2 victory over Osasuna on Sunday – but fans were less than happy with the new player.
It is the first time Greenwood has played in 20 months, with his last game coming for Manchester United against West Ham in January 2022.
The winger was then suspended by United after being arrested on suspicion of rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
In February this year, the CPS dropped all criminal charges against Greenwood after “the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light”.
United’s internal investigation into Greenwood finished in August with the club concluding that he would not play for them.

And today he played his first game while out on loan from the Red Devils to Getafe.
As he ran out on the pitch in the 77th a section of the away support in the stadium chanted “Greenwood, die”.
Osasuna coach Jogoba Arrasate has slammed his fan’s for the taunts.
He told The Athletic: “The chants of ‘Fuck Osasuna’ were very bad and the chants against Greenwood were very bad too.

“He is a player who, in the end, the justice system had its say.
“He is a very good player. But if we talk about chants, we should talk about all the chants, not just some.”
Greenwood’s next opportunity to play will come next Sunday when Getafe travel to the Basque country to take on Real Sociedad.
It comes after Greenwood’s girlfriend was reportedly out with Getafe Wags as the couple settle in to Spanish life.
Greenwood and his family are said to have dined with the club’s president, while a translator is also available on request, MailOnline reports.
The striker’s girlfriend Harriet Robson has also been welcomed by Wags and has visited Madrid’s shopping districts.
It is unclear whether she will live in Spain with him or regularly visit with their baby.
Greenwood is understood to be living with his dad while a search for a property in Boadilla del Monte is ongoing.
The quiet and affluent town is located to the west of the Spanish capital.
