Mason Greenwood has been called out by the Getafe manager despite scoring again during his loan from Manchester United.
In August, it was confirmed that Greenwood and United have mutually agreed that the 22-year-old would continue his career away from Old Trafford.
On transfer deadline day, Greenwood confirmed a loan move to Spanish La Liga side Getafe for the 23/24 season.
Since joining the Spanish club, Greenwood has made 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring six goals and assisting four.

Despite his decent numbers since joining the club, Getafe manager Jose Bordalas has criticised Greenwood.
He said: “He is a great player but everyone has a job. We are very happy with the work from Greenwood, Borja, Maxi but without everyone’s work he cannot shine.
“Greenwood had a great first half, although not so much in the second half.”
Bordalas added: “But everyone has worked for the team. They were aware of the importance of the game and finally we achieved it.”
During his time in Spain, Greenwood has been linked with a move to La Liga giants Barcelona.
According to The Sun, a source said: “Barcelona want to sign Greenwood, and he wants to move there. The next step is for the clubs to come to an agreement.
“Manchester United want to sell the player and the manager has accepted Greenwood won’t be returning. The view is that it is best for all parties to have a clean break. As talented as Greenwood is, a return to the club when they are at the start of a new chapter, with new owners, is regarded as a backward step.
“A deal with Barcelona is likely to include a number of add-ons depending on games Mason goes on to play for them and possibly for England too. Mason is setting his sights on playing for his country again one day.”
