Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood scores superb goal for Getafe against Almeria amid suggestions the Spanish side want to sign him permanently

Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood scored a superb goal for Getafe in their 2-1 win at home to Almeria on Saturday. 

Greenwood cut infield from the right flank and proceeded to find the back of the net with a powerful effort from just outside the area.

The 22-year-old has scored four goals and provided three assists in eleven games for Getafe across all competitions.

Former United player Largie Ramazani had put Almeria in front but Greenwood equalised and then Borja Mayoral scored what proved to be the decisive goal for Getafe just before half time. 

Getafe are currently in eighth place in LaLiga and have gone nine games without defeat across all competitions, although six of those matches have been draws.

The Spanish club are reportedly interested in extending Greenwood's stay by either securing a longer loan deal or signing him permanently.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and suspended on full pay by United after charges of alleged rape and assault were made against him.

Those charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February this year after 'key witnesses' withdrew their involvement.

In August, after conducting a drawn-out internal investigation, the club decided that he would not play for them as they were prioritising the 'welfare, wishes and perspective' of his alleged victim, vowing to help all parties including Greenwood 'rebuild'.

A product of United's academy, Greenwood has made 129 appearances for the club and has scored 35 goals.
