Spanish media are claiming that Getafe have reported Jude Bellingham to La Liga officials after the England midfielder allegedly called Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood a ‘rapist’. The incident occurred during Getafe's 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Thursday evening. After the ball went out of play, the television camera caught Bellingham saying a two-syllable word towards Greenwood, although the audio did not pick up exactly what the England midfielder said.

After the final whistle, Cadena SER reports that Getafe requested to the La Liga delegate at the game that Bellingham’s alleged slur is included in the official match report, which could then open an investigation into the incident. Bellingham, if charged and found guilty by La Liga, could be handed a potential suspension as a result, although it remains unclear if officials will take action.

Greenwood was suspended by United in January 2022 amid allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. A lengthy investigation into the case then followed, with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropping all charges against Greenwood in February 2023.

A United statement at the time read: "Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped. The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete."

The relationship between Getafe and Greenwood

Greenwood left United for Getafe on loan following the conclusion of that internal investigation last year. The 22-year-old's contract at Old Trafford expires in the summer of 2025.
