Manchester United confirmed last month Greenwood would not play for the club again after a six-month internal investigation into rape and assault charges that were dropped.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Man United had put together a care package worth £8,000 per month which will pay for villa near his new club’s training ground.

Now The Sun can reveal that Greenwood could be set to move into an exclusive enclave on the outskirts of Madrid that was once home to superstars such as Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane and Gareth Bale.

Fernando Torres and Sergio Ramos are among the current residents in LaFinca, where properties sell for around €15million and can cost up to €20,000 per month to rent.

It is known as one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Spain, offering top notch security and most importantly, privacy.

The enclave is described as Spain’s ‘Beverly Hills’ and is home to some of the country’s wealthiest people with sprawling mansions, luxury golf courses and shopping malls.

A private security firm has agents patrolling its tree-lined streets, while guards are stationed at the entrance 24/7.

It has three perimeter fences to keep out unwelcome visitors and any potential burglars, while scores of security cameras have every corner covered.

It is deemed so safe that many of the homeowners reportedly don’t even bother installing an alarm system in the upmarket area of Pozuelo de Alarcon.

Bale paid around £10,000-per-month in rent to stay in the Pozuelo de Alarcón part of La Finca, in an amazing 1,500 square metre property that is built on two-storeys.

It boasts four bedrooms, an indoor pool, gym, two utility rooms, several terraces and porches, as well as a six-car garage.

Former Man United ace Ronaldo bought a home there for around €5million in 2010 before carrying out extensive renovation works.

It now counts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fully-equipped gym, garage and more.

The home was last year shown on the Netflix reality show ‘Soy Georgina’, which followed the daily life of his partner Georgina Rodriguez.

LaFinca is one of two luxury neighbourhoods that Greenwood would likely move to, the other being La Moraleja, just a further 20 minutes’ drive north-east.

They have endured a fierce rivalry when it comes to footballers in recent years.

A spokeswoman from estate agency Promora, which sells properties in both areas, told the Sun: “I cannot say where Greenwood will be living but it will most likely be between La Finca or La Morajela.

“Either are like a footballer’s paradise because they are very green areas with wide avenues and with great 24-hour security.

“They have everything they need with their own shops, supermarkets and cinemas etc, meaning they don’t ever have to leave.

In 2016, French player Raphael Varane had his home in La Moraleja raided.

The spokesman added: “It really depends on their lifestyle. If they have children for example, La Moraleja can be a preferred option because there are many top quality international colleges nearby.”

MAD FOR IT

One mansion in the Moraleja neighbourhood of Alcobendas even has a nuclear bunker.

The H-shaped estate, which David Beckham visited during his stint at Real Madrid, has an 80 square metre bunker that is ‘totally sealed’ off, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, food supplies and a radio communication system, according to director of Promora Gonzalo Lopez-van Dam.

While La Moraleja has a private security firm, some of its streets are still accessible to the public, increasing the risk of being photographed or robbed.

Nevertheless, it still attracts huge stars, including Real Madrid’s Luka Modric, who lives in a €12million villa with his wife and three children.

It now appears that Greenwood is determined to seize the chance to turn his career around in Spain.

A source said: “He’s going on loan but remains a United player.“It means the club has an ongoing duty of care to him and they’ve pledged to help him make a success of his move to Spain.

“The villa is big enough for friends and family to visit. They will get the opportunity to travel to see him as much as they can.

“It’s important he has a solid support network around him. The last thing they want is Mason isolated.”

It is understood United will pay more than half of his £75,000-a-week wages while he is in Spain.

Another source said Greenwood is raring to go. They added: “He’s happy he’s got himself a club in LaLiga and can finally begin to put the last two years behind him.

“He wants to concentrate on football and becoming the best version of himself — on and off the field. He’s looking forward to playing against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

“He’s going to show everyone that he’s changed and that he’s matured. He knows it’ll be a long road but it starts here.”
