Greenwood is currently on loan from Manchester United for the 23/24 season at La Liga side Getafe. ‘The Red Devils’ had excluded him from the first-team squad due to the domestic violence made by the English winger’s girlfriend on him. Mason Greenwood has performed well during his stay in Spain where he has found his groove back.
His amazing performances have alerted La Liga giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The two clubs would love themselves a fantastic winger like Greenwood. The 22-year-old’s ambidextrous skills make him one of the most exciting talents in the soccer world.

Real Madrid would want him to pair him up with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo to make up a feisty attack that could take on any defense. And if we add Jude Bellingham to that team, then ‘Los Blancos’ would simply be unstoppable in the 24/25 season.
While Barca have been monitoring the young starlet. The Catalan giants have some very misfiring wingers in their team, which has cost them dearly in the 22/23 season. Raphinha hasn’t been able to deliver consistently and Even Joao Felix has underperformed after an initial flurry of promise.
After the unfavorable circumstances under which Greenwood was forced out of the United, it is highly unlikely that he would return to the record Premier League Champions. Mason Greenwood would want to continue playing in the Spanish first division and repeat his incredible performances in the 22/23 season.
Mason Greenwood is having a wonderful 23/24 La Liga season
The 22-year-old has been integral to Getafe’s terrific performances in the Spanish League. The Madrid-based club sits in a respectable 8th position in the La Liga table at the end of matchday 18. Greenwood has played some amazing soccer to aid in Getafe’s quest for European soccer.
Mason Greenwood has 3 goals and 4 assists in 14 appearances for Getafe. The numbers are amazing, considering he has been out form soccer action for more than a year. It is, however his game-changing abilities that are worth taking note of. Greenwood possesses exquisite qualities with the ball and can trike the soccer ball perfectly with both his feet.
Jose Bordalas, head coach of Getafe CF summed up the Englishman’s impact on the club perfectly (via The Sun): “I said from day one he is a fantastic player and would reach his best level little by little. We have treated him really well.” Clearly, the Spanish coach is in love with the player and would love to have Greenwood beyond 2024.

Mason Greenwood’s most terrific performance arguably came in Getafe’s 18th game of the season against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. The 22-year-old was frighteningly quick with his feet against ‘Los Colchoneros’. Greenwood’s duels with Atleti defender Mario Hermoso were the highlight of the game.
Even Atleti legend Antoine Griezmann was impressed with Greenwod’s performances. The 2018 World Cup winner said, “Mason Greenwood was really causing us problems in the second half. We couldn’t stop him and it cost us the game.”
Greenwood would be very happy to receive such high praise from the man who became Atletico Madrid’s joint-top scorer in the club’s history on the same night. Antoine Griezmann scored twice in the game as Atleti bottled a two-goal lead to end the game with a 3-3 draw.
