Man Utd star Mason Greenwood back down to earth after sparkling debut as Getafe lose to Real Sociedad

Manchester United, like any other season, have a big loan army this season as well.

One of the most prominent names in that batch is that of Mason Greenwood’s.

The United forward is at Getafe where he made his debut on September 17 with an impressive performance against Osasuna where he forced the corner which led to his team’s winner in a 3-2 victory.

However, he has been brought back down to earth as his side lost to Real Sociedad 3-4 despite a late goal by Juanmi Latasa.

Unbelievable cut and run from Mason Greenwood

.

Djene Dakonam was replaced by Greenwood in the 68th minute, and he instantly shifted to the right side of the attack.

Getafe was down 3-2 when he came on, but he didn’t make much of an impact because he stayed on the sidelines.

He displayed a few beautiful touches in the attacking areas and tested the goalkeeper late in the game with a powerful strike.

Overall, he wasn’t able to contribute much, and although playing for almost 30 minutes, including extended time, he only completed two passes throughout the game.

The game almost seemed to pass him by, such was the frantic pace of it amid the mayhem that was this match.

Another sighter at goal in the dying embers of the game summed up the match for him as he failed to bring his team back in front and repeat his Osasuna heroics.

In order to accrue playing time, Greenwood has now entered the game from the bench in two straight contests.

It would be a safe bet to assume that his first start for the club is imminent given his caliber and influence in both games, particularly against Osasuna.

The game against Athletic Bilbao away from home is Getafe’s next match, although the match against Villarreal at home on September 30 may be the one in which he makes his Getafe debut.
