      Exact date Mason Greenwood to make his debut for new club Getafe revealed after impressing coaches in training

      by

      But despite only signing for the La Liga club in Spain in a transfer deadline day deal on loan ten days ago, Greenwood is expected to feature against Osasuna on September 17, next Sunday afternoon.
      He has not played since he was arrested in January last year on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.

      He stayed suspended by United despite the Crown Prosecution Service announcing in February they were dropping all charges.
      United and Greenwood jointly announced on August 21 he would be leaving the Old Trafford club, in what they called a “collaborative decision”.

      His move to Getafe was confirmed late on September 1, just before the English and Spanish summer transfer windows closed.
      A source has now said: “Mason was very nervous about how he would be received by his new team-mates and his coaches but they have been very welcoming to him.
      “He feels relaxed in their company and a couple of the Spanish lads have taken him under their wing.
      “He can’t believe how well its gone and how quickly his life has changed.
      Most read in Football
      “He has been very very low at times while he was suspended by United and within the space of a few days he has fans chanting his name again.
      “He was scared to walk down the street in England because he was worried he would be attacked or abused.
      “In Spain, he’s able to wander around freely. He’s been able to concentrate 100 per cent on his football and want to get back to playing as soon as possible.”
      “The coaching staff have been impressed with his sharpness and plan to throw him in as soon as they can.”
      Greenwood has been joined in Spain by his partner Harriet Robson, also 21, and the couple are looking at houses in the capital Madrid.
      It is unclear whether she will live in Spain with him or regularly visit with their baby.
      The source added: “The Getafe Wags have also welcomed Harriet so they are both very happy with the move at the moment.”
      Getafe have released multiple videos of Greenwood’s unveiling at the club on the outskirts of Madrid as well as others showing him training with his new colleagues.
      The club’s president Ruben Reyes insisted the player’s arrival was “just the same” as their other signings despite critics calling the move “tone deaf”.
      Greenwood’s Old Trafford exit had been welcomed by former England and United defender Gary Neville, but the Sky Sports pundit criticised the club for their “horrible” handling of the situation.
      BBC’s Match Of The Day presenter and ex-Three Lions captain Gary Lineker called United’s move “inevitable and right”.
      But women’s charities urged football clubs to do better when dealing with such situations.
      Dedicated Red Devils fan Rachel Riley had threatened to no longer support United if they permitted Greenwood to come back.
      The Channel 4’s Countdown co-host and Strictly Come Dancing contestant also accused the club of having “handled this appallingly”.
      Greenwood’s last United appearance came in a 1-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United on January 22 last year.
      The CPS charged him last October and he was scheduled to go on trial this November, until the case was withdrawn on February after alleged victim and 12 other witnesses declined to co-operate.

      Greenwood, born in Bradford in West Yorkshire, scored 35 goals in his 129 matches for United.
      England manager Gareth Southgate brought him on as a late sub against Iceland in September 2020 for his only international appearance.

      McTominay, who usually operates more as a defensive midfielder for Manchester United, is the top scorer in European qualifiers with six goals and one assist in his five games for the Scots.
      Scotland currently sit top of Group A, ahead of Spain in second.
      The midfielder has found game time hard to come by this season at club level though.
      Erik Ten Hag favours Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen over the Scotland number four and he has only seen just seven minutes of Premier League football this season as a result.
      But his scoring record for Scotland is impressive, and could see McTominay remodelled into a more attacking player under Ten Hag.

      Van de Beek attracting transfer interest from two clubs with Man Utd outcast offered last-minute career lifeline

      He spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign on the sidelines with a knee injury and has since fallen down the pecking order.
      Erik ten Hag allegedly has no plans to re-introduce him to the first team squad, so club officials are now looking to facilitate a transfer.
      And according to football journalist Nicolo Schira, two Turkish clubs have expressed an interest in signing Van de Beek on loan.
      Although the two clubs have not been named by Schira, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have both previously been linked with a swoop for the midfielder.

      Harry Kane must be thinking he dodged a bullet with Man Utd in full-blown crisis a week before Bayern Munich showdown

      ERIK TEN HAG returns to Carrington today after a short break to recharge his batteries.But with more problems piling up while he has been away, Manchester United’s Dutch boss must already feel like he needs another holiday.

      Tricky fixtures against Brighton and then Bayern Munich in the next ten days are the last thing he needs right now.
      The Red Devils just told Antony to stay away until further notice.
      United have come under increasing pressure over the last week to take action amid allegations of domestic violence against the 23-year-old Brazil winger.
      His national team wasted no time in axing him from their squad for this week’s World Cup qualifiers — yet the Old Trafford giants initially chose to bide their time.
      Read More on Man Utd
      Now, though, chief executive Richard Arnold — with the full blessing of Ten Hag — has decided the £85.5million signing should be given leave of absence.
      Antony broke down in tears during a TV interview in his homeland on Friday night — a sign the last few days have clearly taken their toll on him.
      Now he can focus fully on clearing his name rather than football.
      But it all means Ten Hag must manage without a player he pushed hard to sign from his old club Ajax just 12 months ago.

      In truth, Antony — who worked under Ten Hag in the Netherlands— has struggled to live up to his bumper price tag.
      And now another player the Dutch tactician was counting on for this season is off the table for what looks to be a key period for United.
      Do not forget it was only three weeks ago that United performed a U-turn and announced 21-year-old Mason Greenwood would not play for them again.
      In the weeks leading up to that decision, the feeling was he would return to the fold after charges including attempted rape and assault were dropped.
      Greenwood is now at Spanish side Getafe on loan.
      So, with those two forwards out of the  picture, it would normally be an opportunity for Jadon Sancho to seize his chance.
      But of course it is not as simple as that — it never is at Old Trafford these days.
      The £73m winger is due to return to training on Monday and cross paths with Ten Hag for the first time since their public spat.
      Sancho, 23, was left out of the squad for the Red Devils’ 3-1 defeat at Arsenal last Sunday, with the manager openly criticising his performances in training.
      The England international was quick to respond on social media, suggesting the reasons given by Ten Hag were “completely untrue” and he had been made a “scapegoat”.
      Eight days later, Sancho’s statement is still up for all to read.
      It promises to be a tense start to the week at United’s HQ when the pair cross paths.
      Ten Hag feels let down by  Sancho, particularly after giving him time off last season to deal with “physical and mental” issues.
      And after an unconvincing start to the  campaign, a senior player publicly challenging his authority has done him no favours.
      It is hard to see a way back for the former Manchester City trainee, who has also tested the patience of some of his team-mates.
      A move to Saudi Arabia emerged as a possibility for Sancho last week but collapsed after Al-Ittihad would not agree to United’s demands.

      Ten Hag will also hope the injury problems which have blighted his team’s start to the season do not get any worse during the international break.
      For the defeat at Arsenal, he was without defenders Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, as well as new midfielder Mason Mount.
      Lisandro Martinez limped off at Arsenal with a foot injury which was still bothering him when he met up with Argentina.
      And Ten Hag will also have an eye on Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Burundi.
      Andre Onana recently performed a U-turn on his international retirement and should Cameroon qualify, it is likely to mean United’s new keeper will miss seven games to play in the tournament which starts in January.
      So against that backdrop, Ten Hag must find a way to kick-start United’s season.
      The defeats at Arsenal and Spurs were not unexpected given his team’s problems away from home against the Prem’s leading lights.
      But their home victories over Wolves and Nottingham Forest were hardly convincing.
      Now they face Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton, who are six places above United in sixth.

      And then a week on Wednesday it is their Champions League opener at Bayern Munich, where they will come face to face with Harry Kane — the striker they wanted this summer.
      The England captain, who has made such a promising start to life in Germany,  must be thinking he dodged a bullet. More

      Man Utd fan Rachel Riley shares statement over Antony decision after taking stand against club over Mason Greenwood

      by

      MANCHESTER United fan Rachel Riley has shared a statement over the club’s decision on Antony.The £85 million winger has been granted a “leave of absence” from the club as he faces allegations of domestic violence from three women, including his ex Gabriela Cavallin.

      The presenter, 37, took to social media after the club announced the decision for Antony not to return.
      He is currently being investigated by police in both Manchester and Sao Paolo – and was axed from the Brazil national team for their World Cup qualifiers this month.
      Gabriela led calls for the £85million player to be dropped from the squad in an exclusive interview today with The Sun on Sunday.
      Riley shared the news, along with a statement from the victims’ charity Women’s Aid.

      Her intervention comes after she was also outspoken against United reintegrating Greenwood into the squad before his move to Getafe.
      And earlier this week she called the allegations against Antony “heinous” and called for change at the club.
      Antony strongly denies all allegations against him.
      Countdown star Riley shared the Women’s Aid statement with her nearly 700,000 followers on X.

      “At Women’s Aid we welcome the decision that following serious allegations of domestic abuse and violence against women, Antony will not be returning to training or games for [Manchester United] until further notice, as this situation is addressed,” it said.
      “Safeguarding must always be the priority.”
      Manchester United announced on Sunday afternoon that Antony will not return to the club by a mutual decision.
      United’s players who were not involved in the internationals were due to return to Carrington on Monday – but Antony has been granted an indefinite leave of absence.
      Club sources insist he has not been suspended and will remain on full pay during his time away from Old Trafford.
      They believe the move reflects how seriously the club are taking the allegations and they will continue to review the situation.
      The club had been facing increasing pressure to take action on Antony, especially after the controversy surrounding Mason Greenwood.
      In a statement, Antony said: “I have agreed with Manchester United to take a period of absence while I address the allegations made against me.
      “This was a mutual decision to avoid distraction to my teammates and unnecessary controversy for the club.
      “I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of, and I will fully cooperate with the police to help them reach the truth.
      “I look forward to returning to play as soon as possible.”
      Gabriella, a model and DJ, today urged Old Trafford bosses to ban Antony from playing while police investigate claims he assaulted her.
      She told The Sun on Sunday: “Antony needs to be taken off the pitch.
      “It’s disappointing he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation.
      “I am absolutely destroyed by the whole process. How can life go on as normal for him?
      “They can’t just know what they know now and not do anything. He needs to be removed.”
      Gabriela, 22, demanded to know why United bosses waited three months to respond to the abuse allegations.
      It has been reported in Brazil that Gabriela has told police that £150,000-a-week Antony assaulted her four times.
      In tears, Gabriela told us: “Why did it take United three months?
      “It’s just not OK. I prefer not to believe such a huge club, with such serious and professional people, would cover up a situation like this.”
      Gabriela talks exclusively to The Sun on SundayCredit: The Sun
      Antony appeared tearful last week on Brazilian TV
      Two more women have made similar claims against the winger.
      Law student Rayssa de Freitas said she needed hospital treatment following an incident in May last year after she was allegedly attacked by Antony and a woman in his Land Rover after they left a Sao Paulo nightclub.
      Ingrid Lana, a 33-year-old banker, has alleged in an interview in Brazil that Antony was sexually aggressive towards her while on a business trip to England in October.
      Gabriela vowed to keep fighting for her claims to be taken seriously.
      She said: “I will do everything in my power.
      “I will not give up. People need to be held accountable.
      “It doesn’t matter what profession or how famous someone might be.
      “If they took action against his teammate, I don’t see why Antony should be treated differently.”
      In a statement, Man Utd said: “Manchester United acknowledges the allegations made against Antony.
      “Players who have not participated in international matches are due back in training on Monday.
      “However, it has been agreed with Antony that he will delay his return until further notice in order to address the allegations.

      “As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse.
      “We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.”

      Her revelations come after Brazilian Antony, 23, gave a tearful TV interview in his home country on Friday denying the claims and vowing to clear his name.
      Gabriela told The Sun on Sunday: “Antony needs to be taken off the pitch. It’s disappointing he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation.

      The club is already reeling from criticism over the way it handled abuse allegations against Mason Greenwood.
      It has been reported in Brazil that Gabriela has told police that £150,000-a-week Antony assaulted her four times.
      She previously alleged she was first attacked in June 2022 while pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.
      And she claimed in January Antony headbutted and punched her in a Manchester hotel, damaging a breast implant.

      And she claimed he threw a glass at her in May, injuring her finger.
      Antony, who has made 31 appearances for United since the alleged incidents, has denied all wrongdoing.
      For legal reasons, Gabriela has been careful not to speak about the allegations themselves in our interview as there is a police investigation.
      She first filed a complaint in Brazil in June.
      Last Monday — after the allegations were reported by Brazilian media — Antony was dropped from the national squad.
      Two days later United issued a statement insisting they were taking the matter seriously but would not act during the police inquiry.
      In tears, Gabriela told us: “Why did it take United three months?
      “It’s just not OK. I prefer not to believe such a huge club, with such serious and professional people, would cover up a situation like this.”
      Two more women have made similar claims against the winger.

      “It doesn’t matter what profession or how famous someone might be.
      “If they took action against his teammate, I don’t see why Antony should be treated differently.”
      United suspended striker Greenwood, 21, when he was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault last year.
      All charges against him were later dropped and he has been loaned to Spanish club Getafe.
      Antony insisted in his Brazilian TV interview: “I know the truth and it will come out.”
      He also spoke out against domestic violence and insisted he would never harm a woman.
      He said: “I’m 100 per cent sure I’ve never touched a woman, and I’ll come up with the evidence. People will see the truth.
      “I have never assaulted and I will never assault.
      “I’m sure I’ve never committed physical violence.”

      Saudi transfer window slams shut as relieved Klopp keeps Salah & late Sancho bid fails – but they’ll be back in January

      by

      LIVERPOOL have kept hold of Mo Salah – for now – while Jadon Sancho will stick around at Manchester United for the foreseeable future.Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the Premier League breathed a huge sigh of relief as the Saudis’ crazy splurge ended at 10pm when their transfer ­window slammed shut.

      Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq failed with a last-gasp loan move for Old Trafford outcast Sancho because they could not reach a deal over a £50million obligation to buy.
      It came as the Reds held off Al-Ittihad who were prepared to bid a staggering £215MILLION for Salah.
      But the state-backed club remain determined to land the Egyptian, 31, and will try again in January after seeing a £170m offer turned down this week.
      SunSport revealed Al-Ittihad were prepared to offer Salah, who has two years left on his £350,000-a-week contract, a staggering £1.8m-a-week offer — equivalent to £95m a year.

      Boss Klopp feared Prem clubs could lose their stars at the end of the Saudi window and not be able to replace them, with the English window closed since last Friday.
      United were prepared to let Sancho leave following his war of words with boss Erik ten Hag after the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday.
      Ten Hag said he had not named Sancho in his 20-man squad for the Emirates because of his performances in training.
      The winger, 23, hit back by claiming his Dutch manager was using him as a “scapegoat”.
