Mason Greenwood Inches Closer to Manchester United Exit
Just when you thought the drama had subsided, Manchester United and Mason Greenwood are back in the news. The 22-year-old has reportedly agreed personal terms with French giants Marseille, and it looks like we’re one step closer to his departure from Old Trafford.
Greenwood’s United career has been on hold since his January 2022 arrest on suspicion of rape and assault. Despite the charges being dropped and the player denying all allegations, he has struggled to regain his place in Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Marseille, under the guidance of former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, are willing to spend £26.7 million to secure Greenwood’s services, with an additional large share of any future sale. That’s not a bad deal for a player who scored 10 goals in 36 appearances during his loan spell at Getafe.
United have already reached an agreement to sell Greenwood, with the deal reportedly worth the mentioned £26.7 million plus ‘a large share’ of any future sale. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, Greenwood must complete a medical and finalize his switch to Marseille.
De Zerbi recently expressed his enthusiasm for the player’s ability, saying, "Mason is a world-class player, but we haven’t recruited him yet." He also assured fans that he would treat Greenwood like "his son," with constructive dialogue behind closed doors.
Greenwood himself has been involved in talks with United officials, with sources suggesting "constructive dialogue" during pre-season chats. It’s clear that both parties are making progress, but we still wait for the official announcement.
Mason Greenwood’s departure from Manchester United may be imminent, but what’s next for him? Will he thrive under De Zerbi’s guidance or struggle to find his footing in a new environment? One thing’s for certain – we’ll be keeping a close eye on the situation.
