Mason Greenwood made an impactful full debut for Getafe by registering an assist, marking his first start in 613 days since his last appearance for Manchester United, reported by GOAL.

The 21-year-old forward joined Getafe on loan during the summer transfer window and has gradually integrated into the team due to a lack of consistent playing time over the past 18 months.

After two substitute appearances, Greenwood was included in the starting lineup for a match against Athletic Club. He repaid the faith shown in him by setting up Gaston Alvarez for a second-half goal, equalizing the score at 1-1. Getafe ultimately secured a 2-2 draw.

Greenwood's inclusion in the starting XI marked his first start since January 22, 2022, when he played for Manchester United in a 1-0 victory against West Ham at Old Trafford. Following that match, he faced suspension due to his arrest on charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive control. These charges were dropped in February 2023, allowing him to resume his professional career.
