pThousands of eager Getafe fans a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23818234/mason-greenwood-officially-unveiled-getafe/turned out on a warm evening to welcome Greenwood/a and fellow new signings Diego Rico and Oscar Rodriguez./p
pThe forward has since taken to a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/social-media/social media/a to describe his Getafe presentation as an #8220;amazing first day#8221; among a montage of images./p
pGreenwood#8217;s post has already racked up nearly 200,000 likes after being provided withnbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23765085/mason-greenwood-spanish-club-bid-sign-striker/a pathway back to football/anbsp;bynbsp;thenbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/la-liga/La Liga/anbsp;side./p
pThe new signing waved to the crowd and kicked a signed a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/football/football/a into the stand during the presentation./p
pAnd the striker told the crowd that he is #8220;happy to be here#8221; for the season ahead./p
pGreenwood added: #8220;I have been training for four or five months now so I am getting up to speed./p
p#8220;I have been training with my team-mates and I feel quite good./p
p#8220;We take one game at a time, I know the next home game is coming up soon, we are going to try and win it and do our best.#8221;/p
pGreenwood#8217;s girlfriend was also confirmed to have arrived in a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196716/spain/Spain/a ahead of his official unveiling./p
pHarriet Robson, who has a baby with the footballer, was seen smiling in the sunshine in a photo shared on her a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/Instagram/a.nbsp;/p
pEarlier today, a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23812790/mason-greenwood-man-utd-getafe/Getafe were slammed as #8220;tone deaf#8221;/a with the striker filmed signing autographs and greeting fans ahead of his launch./p
pa href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/mason-greenwood/Greenwood/anbsp;was seen posing for snaps with kids and signing their shirts and footballs in a clip which Getafe posted onnbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/twitter/Twitter/a./p
pOne fan had already got his hands on a replica of Greenwood#8217;s number 12 shirt, which he wore back-to-front as he hugged the striker./p
pBut the club#8217;s enthusiastic welcome for Greenwood has been widely slammed on social media./p
pPopular account Out of Context Football Manager tweeted: #8220;Getafe have to be the most tone deaf club I#8217;ve ever seen in my life. Read the room.#8221;/p
pGreenwoodnbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23802285/mason-greenwood-trains-getafe-game/trained for the first time with his new club Getafe today/anbsp;#8211; more than 18 months since his last game for a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/Manchester United/a./p
pIt is highly unlikely that Greenwood is match fit #8211; and the snaps of him training suggest he is focusing on strength and conditioning./p
pThe Spanish club announced the deal just minutes before thenbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23492765/man-utd-transfer-news-live-mason-greenwood-sofyan-amrabat-updates/summer transfer window deadline/anbsp;arrived on Friday./p
pa href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/old-trafford/United/anbsp;will receive no loan fee and will cover the majority of his £75,000-a-week wage during his time in Spain./p
pA club statement added: #8220;The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United./p
p#8220;The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.#8221;/p
pBut the young forward may not make his debut until September 17, when Getafe host Osasuna./p
pIt comes afternbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/United/anbsp;announced that Greenwood had #8220;mutually agreed#8221; to leave the club following an internal probe into his arrest./p
pHe wasnbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18228286/man-utd-mason-greenwood-charged/arrested in October/anbsp;last year but all charges were dropped in February by thenbsp;a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/crown-prosecution-service/Crown Prosecution Service/a./p
pGreenwood still has two years left to run with the option of a further 12 months had the club wanted to take it up./p
pFailing to offload him would have left the club facing a payment of nearly £8million./p
