Premier League clubs are monitoring Mason Greenwood’s situation at Getafe with scouts watching on as he scored a wondergoal for the Spanish side on Saturday.

Greenwood joined the La Liga side on loan from Manchester United in August following an internal club investigation into his conduct.

It came after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control against the striker were dropped in February following his arrest the previous year.

Since joining Getafe on a season-long loan, Greenwood has been playing consistently after 18 months off the pitch, making 11 appearances for his new side.

In a 2-1 win over Almeria on Saturday, he scored his fourth goal of the season, a sublime strike from outside the box.

Greenwood has four goals and three assists for his new club and is happy at Getafe.

His long-term future remains uncertain with AS reporting scouts from Premier League side have regularly been in attendance watching his performances this season, including on Saturday.

Getafe hope to extend Greenwood’s stay at the club by at least one more year but could face competition.

There was no interest from Premier League clubs in Greenwood’s services during the summer transfer window but it was reported at least two Championship sides held preliminary discussions before opting against taking their interest any further. Clubs from Italy and Turkey also linked with a move.

Greenwood’s weekend strike was labelled a goal of the season contender by the Spanish media.

His manager Jose Bordalas said: ‘We have been working with Mason since he arrived, with a lot of patience, working on timing. You all know that he has not played for two years.

‘There has been a very big deficit and he is recovering with the help of everyone. The credit belongs to everyone.

‘It was a great goal, we know the quality he has. He is not yet at his best level. I am very happy because he has integrated phenomenally. I congratulate his teammates who have helped him a lot.’
