Mason Greenwood has won Getafe's Player of the Season award amid speculation over his future at Manchester United.
Greenwood has spent the 2023/24 season on loan at the La Liga side, scoring eight league goals for Jose Bordalas' side.
He enters the final year of his contract with United this summer. His deal expires in the summer of 2025.
It was announced last August that Greenwood would leave United by mutual consent after an internal investigation into his behaviour.

That investigation commenced after charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault against the 23-year-old were discontinued by the CPS last February, who cited a 'combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction'.
After a season on loan in Spain, Greenwood has won Getafe's Player of the Season award.
Getafe finished 12th in La Liga, collecting 43 points from their 38 matches.
They lost all five of their final matches, scoring just one goal in those matches.
Getafe's top scorer was former Real Madrid and Roma forward Borja Mayoral, whose 15 goals put him among the top 10 goalscorers in La Liga this season - but that was not enough to win him the club's Player of the Season award.
Greenwood, meanwhile, posted a farewell message to Getafe fans on his Instagram account, writing: "A bittersweet ending, but it was a pleasure to play for you. I wish you all the best."
The Athletic report that United's 'preference' is to sell the forward this summer, although they are willing to loan him out again if a buyer can't be found. Talks with his family are planned for the coming weeks.
It is claimed that United cannot contractually prevent his return to the club this summer, although it is uncertain whether, if he was to return to training with the club, whether he would be part of the first team.
