On Saturday, in a La Liga match against UD Almeria, Mason Greenwood scored to tie Getafe and remind everyone of his devastating goalscoring ability. Despite Erik ten Hag’s оffensive missteps this season, the 22-year-old has embarrassed no less than five United forwards.

After United’s rumored late U-turn on his return prompted a summer deadline day exit, Greenwood will spending the 2023/24 season on loan at Getafe.

Additionally, he scored the game-winning goal at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in the first half, marking his fourth goal since making his return to action on Saturday.

In his characteristic fashion, Greenwood made a left-wing cut inside the penalty area before launching a soaring rocket of a shot past Luis Maximiano from beyond the penalty area.

With a knee slide and a passionate embrace of his teammates, the former United No. 11 celebrated his goal with a jubilant home crowd.

Borja Mayoral scored just before halftime to put the game away and defeat Largie Ramazani, another former Red Devils academy product, who had put the team up 1-0 early on.

In the first half, Greenwood was impressive across the board, finishing two of his three take-ons and two of his three duels while maintaining an 81% pass accuracy.

The England international has been absolutely smoking as of late, with five goal assists in his past four games.

Greenwood assisted in goals scored by Cadiz and Granada earlier this month after scoring twice in a 12-0 first-round victory over Tardienta.

Last month, he made his Getafe debut with a goal and an assist against Celta Vigo. He had earlier found the back of the net against Athletic Club.

Greenwood has scored four goals so far this season, more than any senior United forward save Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored five goals in the Champions League after joining for £72 million in the summer.

Only Scott McTominay (4), Bruno Fernandes (4), and Casemiro (3) have scored three goals apiece for United this season; Hojlund, who took Greenwood’s starting jersey, is one of them.

No goals have been scored by Antony, Jadon Sancho, Facundo Pellistri, or Amad Diallo. In contrast to the previous pairing, Amad has been out with an ιnjury and Pellistri has contributed one assist.

Despite having one year remaining on his contract, Greenwood is not anticipated to return to United next summer.

However, he is in good company with Anthony Elanga, who has embarrassed Ten Hag’s present alternatives with three goals since joining Nottingham Forest for £15 million in the summer.
