'I don’t care about his past' - La Liga chief speaks out on Man United loanee Mason Greenwood's future

La Liga boss Javier Tebas has stated that he "doesn't care" about Mason Greenwood's past and wants the Manchester United forward to remain in Spain beyond this season.

Greenwood, 22, faced charges of attempted rape and assault, but the Crown Prosecution Service discontinued the case in February 2023. He subsequently joined Getafe on loan last summer.

Tebas, speaking at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit, has now opened up about how impressed he has been by the youngster's performances so far this season. He said: "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."

Reports from The Sun have claimed La Liga giants Barcelona are interested in signing Greenwood at the end of the season. Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has indicated that a decision on Greenwood's future will be made this summer, with Ineos now in control of football operations at Old Trafford.

Reports last year said United wanted to keep him after looking into it, but people didn't like that idea.
