Mason Greenwood has trained in seven-year-old football boots with new side Getafe after being dropped by Nike.
The 21-year-old has been snapped taking part in drills with his new colleagues after being lauded by fans at his unveiling when joining on loan from Manchester United – seven months after all charges against him were dropped.
Greenwood, who had initially been charged for attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm which he denied, joined La Liga after United's U-turn over keeping him at the club.
The England international has not been able to grab a pair of new boots since moving abroad, wearing 2016 released Nike Mercurial Superfly 4.

Getafe have kept fans up to date over Greenwood's progress on social media, showing him taking part in fitness exercises.
His official unveiling was lauded by fans in attendance at their training ground, with one homemade sign asking for his shirt.
Greenwood also recorded a video that was shared on social media. "Hi Getafe fans, it's Mason here. I'm so happy to be here and I can't wait to get started."
Greenwood is also set to return to Football Manager having been omitted from the most recent game after his 2022 arrest.
Should he impress head coach Jose Bordalas then Greenwood could make his debut against Osasuna on the Sunday after the international break (September 17).
Bordalas has said of the signing: "It is too delicate a situation to trivialise this issue. Everybody knows what happened, the appropriate measures were taken.

"Obviously we can only talk about football, about other issues, I think, that the people and the relevant systems did what they had to do, and everybody knows how it ended – without a condemnatory sentence.
"He's a footballer of the highest level, who comes to Getafe with enormous hope. We are going to help him to recover his best level."
Greenwood managed 35 goals across 129 senior appearances for United, making one appearance for England back in 2020. His contract at his parent club runs until the summer of 2025.
