English forward Mason Greenwood is set to join French club Olympique Marseille in a permanent transf er from Premier League club Manchester United. The Ligue 1 side is set to pay a fee of €30m for the 22-year-old. Greenwood played in Spain’s La Liga on loan where he made 36 appearances for Getafe last season and registered 10 goals.
The 22-year-old saw his career take a turbulent turn over the last two years. In January 2022, the youngster was arrested on charges of attempted rape and sexual assault. The case was discontinued after the Crown Prosecution Service saw key witnesses withdraw their co-operation. Despite the settlement of the case, Man United decided to keep Mason Greenwood away from the squad.
