Mason Greenwood has been making waves at Getafe, netting five goals across 14 matches since his move in September, following Manchester United’s decision to allow him to resume his career away from Old Trafford. This action came after the conclusion of a six-month internal investigation into allegations against Greenwood, which were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
22-year-old Greenwood arrived at Getafe on the final day of the transfer window following United’s announcement about his career path. His return to competitive football occurred as a substitute in Getafe’s 3-2 win over Osasuna, marking his first game since January 2022 when he last played for United. He showcased his skills by providing an assist in a 2-2 draw against Athletic Club in his first starting appearance for Getafe later that month.
Greenwood took four La Liga appearances before notching his first goal for Getafe, securing their second goal in a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo. Since then, he has become a consistent starter, notably impressing in Getafe’s thrilling 3-3 encounter against Atletico Madrid.
A compilation of Greenwood’s stellar performance was shared on social media, capturing the attention of Ravel Morrison, who expressed his admiration in a tweet, urging United to bring back the talented player.
Furthermore, Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann, who scored twice in the match against Getafe, acknowledged Greenwood’s impact, acknowledging his contribution in the second half, where Greenwood’s prowess became a major challenge for Atletico and ultimately influenced the game’s outcome.
