GETAFE manager Jose Bordalas has revealed what Mason Greenwood said to the referee to be shown a straight red card.
The Manchester United loanee was sent off for dissent in his side’s 2-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday.
Getafe were already down to ten men when Greenwood received his marching orders, and finished the game with EIGHT.
The former England man was dismissed by referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez for dissent after a heated exchange with the official.
He appeared to be berating Vazquez after claiming he had been fouled four times.
And replays of the incident seemed to show Greenwood saying “f*** off” as he argued his case.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, boss Bordalas explained that Greenwood had sworn at the referee in English.
But he insisted the former England star had NOT insulted anyone.
Bordelas said: “The player told me that he said ‘don’t f*** with me’, only that.
“It was in frustration but at no point has he insulted anybody.

“It was a comment, ‘don’t f*** with me, why won’t you blow (the whistle).”
Juanmi Latasa had already been dismissed during the opening 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, Damian Suarez was later shown another straight red card as Getafe imploded in their return to league action.
Greenwood’s red comes after SunSport exclusively revealed he has emerged as a transfer target for Barcelona last week.
The Spanish giants are reportedly eyeing up a £40million move for the winger, but face competition from Atletico Madrid.
