'He wasn't condemned, I don't care': LaLiga president wants Mason Greenwood to stay in Spain

During a recent media interaction at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit, LaLiga president Javier Tebas expressed his support for Mason Greenwood.

Quoted by Planet Sport, Tebas said of the Manchester United loanee: "He's doing really well at Getafe as a player and I hope he continues to be successful and he continues to stay in Spanish football because that's always good for us.

"He is just another player. He had a past, but not a past we can do anything about.

"He was innocent and wasn't condemned. We can't be judges for everything. If we did that, we'd have no teams.

"I'm a lawyer, so it's important to say he is not condemned. He was acquitted here [in the UK]. Should we have reopened the case in Spain?

"Do I know the case in great detail? No.

"Greenwood was not condemned, so I don't care."

The English winger has impressed at Getafe since joining them on loan, with seven goals and five across competitions.

Although no decision has been made on his Old Trafford future, Greenwood appears to be enjoying his time in Spain. A permanent stay might not be ruled out as of now.
