NEW details of Mason Greenwood's Getafe transfer have emerged – including the striker's kit number and his £75,000-a-week salary.

Greenwood will wear the number 12 shirt for Getafe, the club has revealed.


The striker, 21, has been provided with a pathway back to football by the La Liga side.

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 £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.

It comes after United announced last week that Greenwood had "mutually agreed" to leave the club following an internal probe into his arrest.
