Getafe boss Bordalas: Mason Greenwood isn't affected by insults from rival fans

Getafe coach Jose Bordalas says Mason Greenwood is 'calm' in the face of insults from rival fans and wants to keep the 'exemplary' Manchester United exile next season.

But Greenwood was targeted by Real Sociedad fans who branded him a 'rapist' and told him to 'kill himself' during a LaLiga fixture the previous weekend.

His successful loan spell at Getafe means United have received plenty of interest from clubs in both England and across Europe wanting to either buy Greenwood or take him on loan.

On the aimed at Greenwood, Bordalas told Marca: 'He is calm, he is happy, he is treated very well. The boy has had exemplary behaviour to this day and his team-mates help him.

'I'm sure the chants affect him. You know my opinion, I'm against any insult, no matter who the player is. I cannot say anything more.'

'We have to finish with a good image and good feelings for them and the club.

'When everything is defined it will be time to get down to work see whether Mason will
