La Liga president Tebas: We want Greenwood to stay here

La Liga president Javier Tebas hopes Getafe can hold onto Mason Greenwood.

The forward is on-loan at Getafe from Manchester United, having made the move after assault charges were dropped last year.

"I am a lawyer," Tebas said. "If someone came out of a legal case innocent there is nothing else to say.

"He is doing really well as a player and I hope he continues to stay in Spanish football. That is good for us.

"You should respect legal process," he said. "People might be condemning him in the press but you have to respect the legal decision. There is nothing else to talk about.

"He wasn't condemned [found guilty] here so I don't care."
