Greenwood, 22, disclosed that his preference for right-footed penalties stemmed from a miss during his time in Manchester United’s U13 team against rivals Manchester City, where he usually favoured his left foot.
In 2019, Greenwood elaborated on his decision, stating, “I prefer my left foot, just about, to my right foot.”
“Actually, it happened when I was in the Under-13s. I missed with my left foot against City when I was struggling in a game and ever since I’ve just gone with the right foot.”
During Getafe’s recent 3-0 triumph over Sevilla, Greenwood played a pivotal role, assisting Jaime Mata in the 37th minute and sealing the win with a penalty in the 80th minute. His return to regular action after leaving Manchester United has been fruitful, contributing three goals and four assists in La Liga this season.
Ahead, Greenwood and his teammates brace for a swift turnaround, gearing up to face Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side on Tuesday, aiming for their fourth consecutive victory across all competitions.
