Mason Greenwood is set to return to Football Manager following his deadline day move to Getafe, the makers of the video game series have confirmed.<\/p>\n
Greenwood was arrested on suspicion attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour in January 2022, and Sports Interactive soon removed the 21-year-old forward from the game after he was suspended by Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The forward, whose charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February 2023 after ‘key witnesses’ withdrew from the case, has now started a new chapter in Spain after sealing a loan move to Getafe last week.<\/p>\n
Manchester United, despite initially planning to reintegrate Greenwood after a six-month internal investigation, ultimately announced that the star would not play for the club again after receiving extreme backlash from the public at the prospect of his return.<\/p>\n
Now that the forward is on loan at Getafe – and, more crucially, back from his suspension – the makers of Football Manager have revealed their plan to add him back into the game ‘at the next scheduled update’.<\/p>\n

‘Players or officials serving indefinite suspensions from football, for any reason, are removed from Football Manager at the first opportunity,’ Sports Interactive told The Athletic.<\/p>\n
‘When suspensions or playing restrictions are lifted, the player or official will be reinstated in-game at the next scheduled update.’<\/p>\n
Greenwood, who was given a warm reception after being unveiled as a Getafe player on Wednesday, could make his LaLiga debut against Osasuna on September 17, after the international break.<\/p>\n
Sports Interactive have yet not confirmed an official release date for Football Manager 24.<\/p>\n
