'Die Greenwood' chants 'will never stop' as Getafe slam La Liga & insist protocol clearly broken during latest game involving Man Utd loanee

The Manchester United-owned winger has been subjected to terrace taunts throughout a loan spell in La Liga. Opposition supporters have made a point of singling him out when the 22-year-old forward plays in games on the road.

More of the same was delivered by Alaves followers during Greenwood’s latest outing. The game was brought to a halt in the 18th minute as match officials attempted to quieten those in the stands. The abuse continued, but no further action was taken.

Getafe have been left frustrated by broken promises from La Liga, with rules drawn up that are supposed to see top-flight fixtures suspended. Club boss Jose Bordalas has told DAZN of a lack of decisive action in Spain: “They have sung ‘Greenwood die’ and the protocol says that when it happens a second time, the game has to be stopped and the players have to go to the locker room. I have read it. And the referee has not done it. If they are the first to not comply with the protocols, it will never stop.”

Greenwood has been able to turn a deaf ear to his detractors, with a productive spell at Getafe being enjoyed. He has reached double figures for goals scored this season and is now being linked with a summer transfer to Juventus, Atletico Madrid or Napoli.
