Manchester United's young striker, Mason Greenwood, has officially left the club to join Marseille on a permanent basis. This news comes after the 22-year-old has not played for United since January 2022, when he was arrested for attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault. However, all charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023.
Despite being back at United's training ground last Monday, Greenwood was informed by the club's hierarchy that he no longer had a future at Old Trafford. It seems that the club's decision not to reintegrate him back into the first-team and instead send him out on loan to Getafe in Spain, was an indication of their stance on his future with the team.
Although there was interest from Italian club Lazio, Greenwood's preference was to move to France, and Marseille seemed to be the perfect fit. Last week, the French side made an official bid of £26 million for the former England international, which also includes a 50% sell-on clause. This means that United will receive a significant share of any profits if Marseille decides to sell him in the future.
Greenwood, who was once considered one of the club's best young talents, made his senior debut for United in 2019 and quickly became an integral part of the first-team. However, due to his off-field issues, his future with the club has been uncertain for some time now.
In a brief statement, United wished Greenwood all the best in his future career, indicating that they have accepted his departure. This news has left many fans disappointed, but it seems that the club has made the decision that is best for both parties.
