It was one of the most controversial transfers of the summer. Blacklisted at Manchester United following his domestic violence case, the English striker settled in the southern suburbs of Madrid a few months ago. This caused a lot of ink to flow in Spain, where many supporters did not appreciate seeing a player with such a history arrive. He is thus regularly whistled and insulted during Getafe away matches.
But the player trained at Manchester United seems to be turning a deaf ear to all this media noise and he is relaunching quite well among our Iberian neighbors. In 9 La Liga matches, including 6 as a starter, he scored a goal and delivered 3 assists, he who generally plays as a left winger in Pepe Bordalas’ eleven.
Discussions already underway
Convincing first steps which will push Getafe to keep him, as the newspaper confides A.S. this Monday. The media indicates that the Madrid club will do everything to keep him, and he believes that he has perfectly met expectations. Discussions have already taken place with the management of Manchester United, who are also following the performances of their player very closely.
Getafe hopes to be able to at least count on the Englishman for an additional season, in the form of a new loan in the event that a permanent transfer becomes complicated for financial reasons. It remains to be seen what the intentions of the Mancunian staff will be, who could take advantage of the revaluation of his player to get a nice check by selling him to Getafe. Or to another club with more purchasing power…
