Man Utd Respond’s To Marseille’s Official Bid For Mason Greenwood
Mason Greenwood’s time at Manchester United appears to be over, with the Red Devils looking to entertain bids for the attacker after a decent loan spell at Spanish outfit Getafe last season. And with a whole host of clubs across Europe showing interest in securing his services, a deal could be done with Marseille – with Fabrizio Romano stating that the French outfit have submitted a loan-to-buy offer to United, in a bid to land the striker.
Greenwood burst onto the scene at United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, nabbing 35 goals in 129 games for the Red Devils in what promised to be an exciting future for the club once he found his way into a regular starting XI role.
However, his arrest by Greater Manchester Police in January 2022 put an end to Greenwood’s United career, and having been suspended by the club immediately, he has still not played for the club. Last season’s spell in Spain saw Greenwood rekindle his match fitness, and that has prompted interest from clubs across the continent – with Marseille making their move.
Marseille table official bid for Mason Greenwood
Fabrizio Romano stated on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning that Marseille have made their formal offer to United, in a bid to land Greenwood’s services at the Stade Velodrome.
The striker is no longer part of United’s plans after a review was undertook last summer, and that has seen the forward crop up onto the shortlist of various clubs across the continent – though Marseille have taken the first big step of any interested club. Talks are underway between the two clubs, with the Bradford-born attacker being the French club’s ‘main target’ – and an agreement is getting closer.
United would prefer a straight sale, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have made a big decision by stating that they would be open to a loan-to-buy scenario if terms are favourable, alongside a sell-on clause to be included should the Englishman depart for pastures new – and that has seen Marseille come to the table.
