Mason Greenwood bags assist in action-packed draw as Man Utd loanee plays full 90 mins of first LaLiga start for Getafe

MASON GREENWOOD made a massive impact in his first league start for Getafe - bagging a crucial assist.

The Manchester United loanee was named in the starting XI for the Madrid club's trip to Bilbao to take on Athletic Club on Wednesday.

The visitors got off to a nightmare start as Yuri Berchiche put Bilbao in front just a mere six minutes into the pulsating match.

Getafe regrouped after the restart and got back on level terms in the 51st minute.

Greenwood was the architect of the equaliser, teeing up Gaston Alvarez to level the scores.

Spain international Inaki Williams put Bilbao back in front 11 minutes later.

But Getafe made sure the points were shared in the 83rd minute when Juanmi Latasa fired home.

Greenwood, 21, completed a season-long loan switch to Getafe from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.

He made his debut earlier this month as his new club picked up their first win of the season.

The winger came off the bench for the final 13 minutes of Getafe's 3-2 win at home to Osasuna.

It was an eventful debut for Greenwood, who was targeted with chants by the Osasuna fans.

However, their manager Jagoba Arrasate later defended the former England international after the match.

Greenwood also came off the bench on Sunday as Getafe fell to a 4-3 defeat in a seven-goal thriller against Real Sociedad.

Before his debut, the Red Devils academy product had not played a competitive match since January 2022, when he started in United's 1-0 home win over West Ham.

The club suspended Greenwood shortly after he was arrested later that year.

He was arrested on suspicion of rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. 

However, the CPS dropped all charges in February 2023.
