Mason Greenwood will feature in EA FC 24 after Getafe transfer from Man United but not Ultimate Team

EA Sports has confirmed that Mason Greenwood will be included in its new game EA FC 24 following the forward's transfer to Getafe.

Greenwood has not appeared in an EA Sports gaming title since FIFA 22, with the striker being removed from the United squad in offline modes on February 1, 2021, although the forward was still featured in the FIFA Ultimate Team game mode. Greenwood did not feature in FIFA 23 at all.

Following EA Sports' high-profile divorce from FIFA, its new game, EA FC 24, is set for a worldwide release on September 29, 2023. And ahead of the launch of the game, EA Sports has confirmed to the Manchester Evening News that Greenwood will feature in EA FC 24, but not in the Ultimate Team mode.

"EA SPORTS FC 24 authentically reflects the active rosters of teams and clubs in the real world of football," an EA Sports spokesperson told the Manchester Evening News.

"As he is now part of an active roster with Getafe CF, Mason Greenwood will be included in FC 24. As Greenwood was not part of an active roster at the time of our cut-off date for final team and player data, he will not appear in Ultimate Team at launch."

After a six-and-a-half-month investigation, United confirmed in August that Greenwood would not continue his career at the club, determining "it would be most appropriate for him" to restart his career elsewhere. The 21-year-old was charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault, but the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges on February 2.

The Manchester Evening News reported last month that
