He scored his team’s second goal in their La Liga match against Celta Vigo, putting them ahead 2-1 in the 33rd minute with a shot from close range. He is 22 years old. Two minutes into the game, Borja Mayoral scored the first goal for Getafe. Jonathan Bamba then tied the game.
Greenwood’s goal came at the right time because Getafe had just been down to 10 players after Domingos Duarte was sent off. The home team tied the game late in the first half thanks to Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Those charges were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service, but United looked into the situation and decided that Greenwood should leave the club for the good of everyone. There was a lot of opposition to Greenwood coming back to play for United, which is thought to have played a role in the choice made by club officials.
United said in an August statement, “Manchester United has completed its internal investigation into the claims made against Mason Greenwood.” After all charges against Mason were dropped in February 2023, our process began.
“At all times, we’ve thought about the alleged victim’s wishes, rights, and point of view, as well as the club’s standards and values, and we’ve tried to gather as much information and background as we could.”
“Because of this, we had to be sensitive and careful when getting evidence that wasn’t already public, even from people who knew the case directly.”
“Based on the evidence we had access to, we came to the conclusion that the online content did not paint a complete picture and that Mason did not commit the crimes for which he was first charged.” That being said, Mason says in public today that he has made mistakes and is sorry for them.
“Everyone involved, including Mason, knows how hard it will be for him to start over at Manchester United.” Therefore, both sides agree that it would be best for him to do it somewhere other than Old Trafford. We will now work with Mason to make that happen.
People have had different feelings about Greenwood since he joined Getafe. He has played five times so far but hadn’t scored until he scored against Celta. Before making his Getafe start, he hadn’t played in more than 18 months. His goal is his first since January 2022.
