MASON Greenwood has trained with his new club Getafe in seven-year-old boots after being dropped by Nike.
The striker was pictured training with his Getafe teammates as he gets ready for his expected debut with the La Liga side later this month.
Greenwood has kicked his first ball for Getafe
He wore seven-year-old Nike boots
Greenwood’s Nike contract was cancelled last year
He wore Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 boots – despite Nike cancelling his contract in 2022.
Greenwood was recently seen training alone in a park with his dad – but this is the first time he has taken part in full team training for well over a year.
During the park session in June Greenwood wore black Nike Phantom GX boots.
He has not signed a new contract with any boot maker since Nike cut him loose.
It is highly unlikely that Greenwood is match fit – and the snaps of him training suggest he is focusing on strength and conditioning.
Getafe also posted a clip of fans giving Greenwood an ecstatic welcome to the training ground near Madrid.
It was captioned: “We love you Mason Greenwood”.
Earlier this week Greenwood broke his silence after being pictured holding his Getafe shirt for the first time since his Manchester United exit.
The striker, 21, has been provided with a pathway back to football by the La Liga side.
In a message to fans, he said: “Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here.
“I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Getafe also posted a snap on Twitter of Greenwood holding up the club’s blue home strip.
It was captioned “Mason Greenwood ya esta aqui” – which means “Mason Greenwood is here”.
The Spanish club announced the deal just minutes before the summer transfer window deadline arrived on Friday.
United will receive no loan fee and will cover the majority of his Β£75,000-a-week wage during his time in Spain.
A club statement added: “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United.
“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”
Greenwood might wait till Getafe’s match against Osasuna on September 17 to make his debut.
Following an internal investigation into his detention, United had already said that Greenwood and the club had “mutually agreed” to part ways.
He was detained in October of last year, but the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew all charges in February.
Greenwood has two more years to go, and the club has the option of extending it by another year if they so want.
If the club had not been able to sell him, they would have been on the hook for over Β£8 million.
It follows the disclosure of fresh information regarding Greenwood’s move to Getafe, including the striker’s uniform number and his Β£75,000 weekly wage.
Greenwood is not thought to be match fit
