Greenwood opened the scoring for the home side in the first half and then doubled their advantage in the second, showcasing the clinical finishing that had made him a rising star at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old then turned provider, setting up Getafe's third goal for Mata to seal the three points for his side.

The display will be a welcome boost for Greenwood whose performance on Saturday was a timely reminder of his undoubted talent and potential, as he looks to reignite his career away from the scrutiny of the Premier League.
