Greenwood completed a season-long loan switch to Getafe from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.
The 21-year-old made his debut earlier this month as his new club picked up their first win of the season.
He came off the bench for the final 13 minutes of Getafe’s 3-2 win at home to Osasuna.
It was an eventful debut for Greenwood, who was targeted with chants by the Osasuna fans.
However, their manager Jagoba Arrasate later defended the former England international after the match.
Greenwood also came off the bench on Sunday as Getafe fell to a 4-3 defeat in a seven-goal thriller against Real Sociedad.
Before his debut, the Red Devils academy product had not played a competitive match since January 2022, when he started in United’s 1-0 home win over West Ham.
The club suspended Greenwood shortly after he was arrested later that year.

He was arrested on suspicion of rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
However, the CPS dropped all charges in February 2023.
