Mason Greenwood’s recent highlights reel against Atletico Madrid has gone viral after the 22-year-old starred for Getafe against Diego Simeone’s side.
Getafe clinched a valuable LaLiga point Atletico in Tuesday’s 3-3 draw and although Greenwood failed to score, did prove himself to be a nuisance throughout the match.
The former England international is currently on-loan in Spain after it was previously decided he would play no part in Manchester United’s immediate future.
This came after criminal allegations against him of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped. The 22-year-old denied all the charges.
Atletico and France striker Antoine Griezmann heaped praise on Greenwood after the match, insisting: Mason Greenwood was really causing us problems in the second half.

‘We couldn’t stop him and it cost us the game,’ he added. And analysing the youngster’s performance, it’s clear to see why.
Greenwood demonstrated a brilliant display of control, passing and chance-creation for Getafe as the Spanish minnows came back from a goal down to snatch a point.
A viral clip showing his individual talent was full of moments of creativity as he constantly probed and pulled Atletico’s defence to pieces during the encounter.
The player’s departure for Spain was widely criticised but he has since received positive feedback from Getafe, their supporters and rival players.

He added: ‘I said it from day one, he is a fantastic player and he would reach his best level little-by-little, (and) we have treated him really well. The whole team played a great game.’
Getafe’s point was even more impressive considering they were reduced to 10 men after 38 minutes when Stefan Savic was sent off for two yellow cards.
