Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has urged La Liga to drop an investigation into Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham after the midfielder allegedly made a slur at the striker.

Bellingham is alleged to have muttered ‘rapist’ at Greenwood following an exchange between the two players during Getafe’s match with Real Madrid earlier this month.

Geenwood was charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour in January 2022 but the charges were dropped just over a year later by the Crown Prosecution Service following the withdrawal of key witnesses.

The forward joined Getafe on loan in August after United decided it would be best for him to recommence his career away from Old Trafford.

Getafe lodged a complaint to La Liga following Bellingham’s supposed slur and La Liga agreed to look into the incident.

But the Sun say Greenwood has asked for the case to be dropped.

The striker does not want any further distractions, and is simply enjoying playing football again after almost 18 months out.

Greenwood, though, was said to be ‘very angry’ after the incident and did not expect it from someone like Bellingham.

Nevertheless, the striker knows he will forever be associated with the videos that emerged online before his arrest in January 2022.

Greenwood has settled in the Spanish capital with his long-term girlfriend, and the couple now have a child together.

New Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said a fresh decision would be made over Greenwood at the end of the season.

‘The process will be to understand the facts, not the hype and then come to a fair decision on the basis of values — which is basically, ‘Is he a good guy or not?,’ said Ratcliffe.
