Mason Greenwood stars for Getafe in the LaLiga side’s 12-0 Copa Del Rey win…but is denied a hat-trick before having to watch his team-mate claim the match ball

• Mason Greenwood was among the scorers in his side’s heavy Copa Del Rey win
• The 22-year-old joined Spanish side Getafe on loan during the summer window 
• Listen to the latest episode of Mail Sport’s podcast ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ 

Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood bagged a brace in Getafe’s 12-0 demolition of fifth-tier Tardienta in the Copa del Rey.

The 22-year-old fired from close range to open his account on after some neat interplay by the away side. 

Greenwood’s second however was all of his own making as he weaved his way through the defence of their much-weaker opponents before playing a one-two and dispatching the ball into the net. 

The double takes the forward’s tally with the Madrid-based outfit to three following his maiden strike in a 2-2 draw against Celta Viga last month. 

On Wednesday Greenwood thought he had notched another to seal a hat-trick but the effort was disallowed. His second effort put the visitors 6-0 up before his team-mates added considerable shine to the result with six additional goals.

Man United CEO Richard Arnold told a Fans’ Forum in October that the club had conducted a ‘detailed investigation’ into the allegations surrounding Greenwood ahead of his move 

Spanish international Oscar Rodriguez took home the match ball with a hat-trick six other Getafe players got themselves on the scoresheet in the rout. 

Last month it was reported that the United academy prosect could make his temporary switch permanent following his controversial deadline day move. 

And according to The Mirror, his displays for Getafe have caught the attention of a number of LaLiga clubs, chief among them Sevilla.

The seven-time Europa League winners are said to be keeping tabs on Greenwood, whose £75,000-a-week deal with United ends in June 2025.
