MANCHESTER UNITED loanee Mason Greenwood was shown a straight red card for dissent during Getafe's La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano this evening.
The forward was sent off just after half time, with Getafe trailing 2-0 and already down to ten men.
After appealing for a foul, Greenwood was seen shouting at the referee.
The official then immediately showed him a red card while pointing to the dugout.
Reports in Spain suggest Greenwood shouted "f*** off", in English, towards the official.
After the match, Getafe manager Jose Bordalas revealed that the ex-Man Utd star was sent off for saying "No me jodas" - a Spanish translation of the insult.
