Mason Greenwood scored his first LaLiga goal following a controversial loan move from Manchester United, but Getafe is held to a draw at Celta Vigo.

Mason Greenwood scored his first goal for Getafe on Sunday, but the side were held to a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo after being reduced to ten men.

It was the 22-year-old forward’s first goal since his controversial loan move to the LaLiga from Manchester United last month.

Greenwood connected with a ball played across the box and fired it into the roof of the net to put Getafe 2-1 up after 33 minutes.

Borja Mayoral had put Getafe ahead just two minutes into the contest, but despite the hosts’ Iago Aspas missing a penalty before the 15th minute mark, Celta Vigo were level shortly afterward through Jonathan Bamba.

Getafe were reduced to ten men after half an hour when Portuguese defender Domingos Duarte was shown a second yellow card, but Greenwood’s goal came three minutes later to put the visitors back in front.

After four goals and a red card in the first half, the second half saw fewer incidents, and the scoreline remained the same.

Greenwood was withdrawn on 61 minutes, with Mauro Arambarri coming on in his place.

The point leaves Celta Vigo in the relegation zone, while Getafe are in 11th place in LaLiga after their fourth draw in nine games.

On Instagram after the game, Greenwood posted: ‘Happy to score my first goal for @GetafeCF amazing team spirit to come away from the game with a point’.

Greenwood is attempting to rebuild his footballing career after it was previously disrupted by his arrest on charges of attempted rape and assault last year.

The charges were eventually dropped by the Crown Prosecution service.

United held an internal investigation following the allegations made against him, and it was mutually decided Greenwood would continue his career away from Old Trafford, which led to his deadline day loan move to Getafe.

De Gea, 32, was axed by United over the summer after 12 seasons between the sticks.

He ended the last campaign with the Golden Glove award.

But Erik ten Hag still proceeded to replace De Gea with Andre Onana.

The ex-Inter Milan and Ajax has since struggled at United, making numerous errors and conceding in every game.

Onana’s latest blunder came against Brentford on Saturday when his flapping hands gave the Bees the lead.

United’s blushes were spared when super-sub Scott McTominay scored two late goals to secure a fortunate 2-1 win.

And De Gea posted a cryptic snap to Instagram Stories, which also gave an insight into what he’s doing these days.

The Spaniard is still without a club after being unable to land a free traqqnsfer.

And De Gea looks to be spending time playing video games, posting a clip of himself playing popular title Rainbow Six Siege.

The veteran’s character was seen aiming at a hallway stock-still waiting for a target to appear.

But after eventually taking his eye off the ball to move to a new room, De Gea’s character was immediately shot by an opponent.

The goalkeeper captioned the video: “Perfect timing.”

And he accompanied it with two emojis giving the middle finger.

De Gea’s post came just days after another cryptic hint aimed at United.
