What's the fans reaction been like in the away games?
Mason Greenwood | 2023/24 Performances | on loan to Getafe
- Thread starter George Owen
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

There were some negative chants at his first few games but not heard anything since
Or there’s only so many times people can say the same thing over and over.
If there was no mod threat in here I suspect you would see much much more, and probably still no activity in the other thread.... Anyway let's let it go. It doesn't matter
Jim is a businessman as everyone points out so....
He'll be back here in the summer once the ownership situation is sorted and we have a competent management structure in place. If he puts the numbers up in Spain I have no doubt about it.
I'm not sure how he will do long term though. He's had a good start in Spain but good as that goal was its exactly the kind of strike that was beginning to get sussed out in England. Ive watched a few of his highlights and hes been focusing on the basics and getting back into the game which is fair enough, but we need to see more than the cutting in from the right to shoot and he should have been learning all that over the last two years.
I have no idea what he's like but if so I'd say 50/50. He'll have to consider the brand and commercial stuffs I think. Then our transfer budget and FFP.
If he's football man then imo 99 % yes. It's bloody obvious we desperately need more goals and the lad is quite good at getting that.
This is a discussion for the other thread.
There's no activity in the other thread cos people keep derailing this thread with it.
Here's the one for discussion of off field issues.

Taking a thread off topic
He’ll be back.
He’s too good not to play for United again imo. Whether morally it’s the right or wrong thing people can debate all day, but Greenwood fully fit is a £100m+ player

1 goal doesn’t equate being back to top level. Let’s see him get more 90 mins under his belt and see how consistent he gets. That’s the important thing for his career.
Even Antony has scored similar goals at PL level and we don’t like him so let’s be consistent
Greenwood will do well at Brighton. Well he is in my FM save anyway 
You’re talking like Antony hasn’t put ones in the top corner a few times.
Fair but different types of goal. Anthony finesses it and Greenwood smashed it out of nowhere. I get your general point about not getting carried away thou...
1 worldie but it's 7 G+A for Greenwood so far (Antony for comparison got 12 the whole of last season and he's been even worse this season)
and thats in a new country after 18 months out the game - you surely have to admit that it's an impressive return so quickly
It is but let’s keep it in context
one is PL level and one isn’t
the important thing for MG is as I say as many minutes as possible - he hadn’t been on a pitch for almost 2 years, then performance and consistency
That poster was me and you clearly didn't get the context behind it.
Also, he is playing for Getafe which is impressive for that stats. He should also be getting more assists.
Tbf imo this is a bit disrespectful to the Liga. PL and Liga are at a similar level I think.
There’s maybe 6 teams of good to extremely good standard. I honestly think the rest are akin to the championship
This is not based on anything factual
Come on you just need to use your eyes
Let’s inject some realism guys
They're actually quite good there. They're not cash rich like the PL clubs and the players there are probably not as physically strong/fast as the PL players but the overall quality is at the same level imo.
I used to watch La Liga when it's free in my country a couple years ago. No idea now though but I don't think they could turn to championship level in just a couple of years. Gironna are currently at the top of the table while Madrid have the likes of Bellingham, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Vavelrde, Camavinga, Courtois etc. tells quite a lot imo.
Well exactly - I barely expected him to even be a regular starter by now after 18months out and moving to a new country
but after a few sub appearances he's now starting every game and hit 7 G+A in just 8 starts and 3 sub appearances
You have to be pretty blinkered not to admit it's an impressive start
And if La Liga isn't PL level (I think it is) then at very worst it's the 2nd best league in the world
Realistically he is performing better than any of our other RW options and has 7 goal contributions in 10 games after 18 months out.
I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at, he’s not putting up Ronaldo numbers in Spain so meh? If we’re being real on football ability alone a player of his ability would walk into our team & improve it, is he the second coming of Pele? No but we’re hardly the second coming of United 2013.
Elanga has 3 goals 3 assists in a far tougher league (and without the baggage) in a poor side. We should bring him back.
No comparison. Completely different level of talent.
Foden has 3 goals & 3 assists for City in 13 league games. Getafe bound.
Ironically we often say that, and then get turned over by them when we meet in Europe...
Unbelievable that people are belittling La Liga now because Greenwood is doing well there. Martial done worse there and still playing for us.
Let's give credits where it's due, he is doing great in La Liga considering he was out for 18 months.

It'd be interesting if his performances for Getafe prompt Madrid, Barca or perhaps Atletico to make a bid. Think he'd suit any of those teams.
Should be doing better then in a weaker league.
Full performance:
I mean if you look at the likes of Luton, Sheff Utd, Bournemouth, Burnley etc then I’m pretty sure the bottom teams in La Liga would fancy their chances against them
That was a very Mason finish wasn't it.
Purely in a football sense he is a wonderful talent.

If you ignored all context, perhaps. Though you are being deliberately obtuse of course.
His touch, vision, weight of pass, link up play and shooting was all elite level in this performance! He’s going to end up at one of the best teams in the world and I would guess it’d be Madrid or Barcelona. The interesting thing will be how much money we can get for him or if we get mugged off
I hope he celebrates wildly when he scores against us.
You might
He would, but how do they deal with a certain recording. Can't expect media commentary to turn a blind eye, either.
His England career is dead.
Honestly stating this as he will struggle to secure a serious move to a major club without it cropping up again, as it should.
