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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This came after criminal allegations against him of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped. The 22-year-old denied all the charges.<\/p>\n
Atletico and France striker Antoine Griezmann heaped praise on Greenwood after the match, insisting:\u00a0 Mason Greenwood was really causing us problems in the second half.<\/p>\n

‘We couldn\u2019t stop him and it cost us the game,’ he added. And analysing the youngster’s performance, it’s clear to see why.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The player’s departure for Spain was widely criticised but he has since received positive feedback from Getafe, their supporters and rival players.<\/p>\n

Greenwood left United to join Getafe\u00a0on loan in the summer after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped. The 22-year-old denied all the charges<\/p>\n

Greenwood is rediscovering his former form previously shown at Man United in Spain this season<\/p>\n
The forward – who last played for Man United in a Premier league game against West Ham on January 22 2022 – has three goals and four assists in 14 LaLiga games this season.<\/p>\n
Getafe boss Jose Bordalas also praised Greenwood after the draw with Atletico.<\/p>\n

The whole team played a great game.’<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
