FollowMason Greenwood on Monday broke his silence since breaking his goal-scoring duck for Spanish side Getafe. In a match against LaLiga rivals Celta Vigo, the on-loan Manchester United forward played a pivotal role in earning his team a 2-2 draw. On the 33rd minute, Greenwood tapped home from close range to put Getafe ahead 2-1, cancelling out Borja Mayoral's early opener.

Following this achievement, Mason Greenwood took to Instagram to share his emotions. He wrote, "Happy to score my first goal for Getafe," expressing his joy and gratitude. He also praised the team's spirit for coming away from the game with a point.

He had faced charges, including attempted rape and assault, but in February of the current year, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that the case had been discontinued.
Greenwood, an academy graduate, had an impressive record at Manchester United, scoring 35 goals in 129 matches. His last appearance for the club came against West Ham on January 22, 2022. He remains contracted to Old Trafford until June 2025, with the deal also including an option to extend by a further year.
