MU loaned Greenwood to Getafe during the summer transfer window of 2023. After “opening the door” in La Liga last month against Celta Vigo, he has now scored three goals for the Spanish squad. The final two goals that Greenwood scored were in the Spanish King’s Cup midweek encounter against Tardienta.

Greenwood had two more assists in addition to the three goals listed above (one in La Liga and one in the Spanish King’s Cup). The 22-year-old sensation kept up his impressive play last night, dishing out his third assist since joining Getafe. He provided the crucial pass that allowed teammate Mayoral to score the game’s lone goal, which helped Getafe overcome Cadiz. La Liga at the latest, round 12.

Coach Pepe Bordalas’ team had just 10 players on the field in the 44th minute due to defensive midfielder Djené’s dismissal following his second yellow card. Mayoral scored in the 76th minute. Getafe moved up to 11th place in the rankings with 15 points after this win, 8 points ahead of the group with the red light.

Greenwood is reportedly “extremely happy” at Getafe and is adjusting to life in Spain rather well. He wishes to remain at the suburban club in Madrid for the foreseeable future, according to a source who spoke to The Sun. “The players and fans have all given him a welcome he could only dream of,” the source said. He really thought his career was finished. He is now content and eager to play more without giving the future any thought.”

A lot of speculation, meanwhile, is that MU would call Greenwood back given how disappointing their wing stars have been—particularly with Antony’s high deal.
