Greenwood played a key role in Getafe's victory at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Borja Mayoral opened the scoring after five minutes from the penalty spot, before Greenwood teed up Jaime Mata to make it 2-0. The United loanee spotted Mata's run down the left flank and picked him out perfectly to run though on goal and score with a low pass. Greenwood then sealed victory with 10 minutes of normal time remaining, stroking home from the penalty spot for his second La Liga goal of the season.

La Liga giants Barcelona have also been linked with a shock move for Greenwood, while Valencia and Real Sociedad are also thought to be interested in the forward.
