The Red Devils had seemingly had a change of heart about bringing Greenwood back into the squad due to the backlash from supporters and charities.
However, the Getafe tactician did not want to go into the off-field issues and says he is looking forward to having the English striker in the squad.
"It is a very delicate situation to trivialise this issue. Every knows what happened and the appropriate measures were taken, obviously, we can only talk about football," he told reporters, as per Goal.
"Regarding the other issues, I believe that the people and the relevant authorities did what they had to do and everyone knows how it ended with a non-conviction sentence. Therefore, he is a free person, a footballer of a very high level and who arrives at Getafe with enormous enthusiasm and that we are obviously going to help him so that he recovers back to his best level.
"'I have already commented what I had to comment. I can only speak on a football level. We all know the potential he has. He is a very young boy, he is still 21 years old and we can help him adapt to a situation.
"It's a different league but because of the potential he has, I'm sure that if he physically reaches a good level, I'm convinced of him because of how young he is and because we've been informed that he obviously wants to recover his professional status and Getafe can help him in that."
