A compilation of Mason Greenwood's standout moments from Getafe's La Liga clash against Osasuna has taken the internet by storm.
Greenwood took to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez pitch, marking his debut for Getafe after completing a deadline-day transfer to the Spanish side.
This appearance also marked the striker's first competitive game since being suspended by Manchester United around 20 months ago.
According to talkSPORT, the Red Devils had been working towards reintegrating the Englishman into the team over a year and a half after his suspension due to various charges, including assault.

He entered the game as a substitute in the 77th minute. Despite his nearly two-year absence from football, the 21-year-old provided a tantalising glimpse of his potential during his brief appearance.
