MASON Greenwood has trained with his new club Getafe in seven-year-old boots after being dropped by Nike.
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.

Despite Nike terminating his contract in 2022, he continued to wear Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 footwear.
Greenwood hasn’t participated in full team training in well over a year, but he was recently spotted working out by himself in a park with his father.
Greenwood wore black Nike Phantom GX footwear during the June park session.
Since Nike let him go, he hasn’t signed a new deal with any boot manufacturer.
Greenwood is not likely to be match fit, and the pictures of him in the gym seem to indicate that he is more concerned with strength and conditioning.
A video of supporters yelling Greenwood’s welcome to the training ground outside of Madrid was also shared by Getafe.
It was captioned: “We love you Mason Greenwood”.
The striker, 21, has been provided with a pathway back to football by the La Liga side.
In a message to fans, he said: “Hi Getafe fans, it’s Mason here.
“I’m so happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Getafe also posted a snap on Twitter of Greenwood holding up the club’s blue home strip.
It was captioned “Mason Greenwood ya esta aqui” – which means “Mason Greenwood is here”.
The Spanish club announced the deal just minutes before the summer transfer window deadline arrived on Friday.
United will receive no loan fee and will cover the majority of his £75,000-a-week wage during his time in Spain.
A club statement added: “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United.
“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”
Following an internal investigation into his detention, United had already said that Greenwood and the club had “mutually agreed” to part ways.
He was detained in October of last year, but the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew all charges in February.
There are two more years left on Greenwood’s contract, and if the club chooses, they may extend it by an additional year.
The club would have been liable for more than £8 million if they had been unable to sell him.
It comes after further details of Greenwood’s transfer to Getafe were made public, including his uniform number and weekly salary of £75,000.
