FOOTAGE shows Mason Greenwood beaming as the ex Manchester United star signs autographs for young fans – hours before his official launch with Getafe.<\/p>\n
Greenwood can be seen posing for snaps with kids and signing their shirts and footballs in a clip which the club posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n

One fan had already got his hands on a replica of Greenwood's number 12 shirt, which he wore back-to-front as he hugged the striker.<\/p>\n
Greenwood will be officially presented to fans along with Getafe's other summer signings at the Coliseum stadium in Madrid at 7pm local time tonight.<\/p>\n
Earlier today Greenwood trained for the first time with his new club Getafe – more than 18 months since his last game for Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The striker was pictured training with his Getafe teammates as he gets ready for his expected debut with the La Liga side later this month.<\/p>\n

Greenwood was recently seen training alone in a park with his dad – but this is the first time he has taken part in full team training for well over a year.<\/p>\n
It is highly unlikely that Greenwood is match fit – and the snaps of him training suggest he is focusing on strength and conditioning.<\/p>\n
Getafe also posted a clip of fans giving Greenwood an ecstatic welcome to the training ground near Madrid.<\/p>\n
It was captioned: "We love you Mason Greenwood".<\/p>\n
