New club enters race to sign Mason Greenwood with Man Utd forward 'keen to join ex-Premier League manager'

A new club has entered the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United.

Last summer, after an internal investigation, it was decided that Greenwood would continue his career away from Old Trafford.

Greenwood was the subject of an investigation by United after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case against him for attempted rape, assault, and coercive control

On transfer deadline day, the forward completed a loan move to Spanish La Liga side Getafe.

During the 23/24 season, Greenwood managed 10 goals and six assists in 36 matches across all competitions for Getafe.

With the season over, Greenwood’s future is now being talked about again.

On Thursday morning, it was reported by The Athletic that Marseille have entered the race to sign the 22-year-old.

David Ornstein wrote on social media: “EXCL: Marseille exploring deal to sign Mason Greenwood from Man Utd.

“Club-to-club talks at early stage + finances not yet discussed. Positive dialogue between #OM & 22yo #MUFC forward - thought to favour them over other options at present @TheAthleticFC.”

Within the report, it was stated that although United would prefer a permanent transfer away for Greenwood, the possibility of 'another loan or even returning to training with Erik ten Hag’s men are not being ruled out'

Aside from Marseille, Greenwood has also been linked with the likes of Juventus, Lazio and Turkish side Fenerbahce, who are now managed by former United boss Jose Mourinho.

The Athletic also reported that Getafe would like Greenwood to return after his loan spell and Napoli along with 'teams in Germany, Spain and Portugal are also monitoring the situation'.
