Manchester United have confirmed Mason Greenwood has left the club on a permanent basis to join Marseille.
The 22-year-old striker has not played for United since he was arrested in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. All charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023
Last year, United opted against reintegrating him back into the first-team and instead sent him out on loan to Getafe in Spain.
Greenwood was back at United’s training ground last Monday but was informed by the club’s hierarchy that he had no future at Old Trafford.
Lazio were also interested in his services but Greenwood’s preference was thought to be a move to France.
Marseille last week lodged an official bid thought to be worth £26million for the one-time England international that also includes 50 per cent sell-on clause, entitling United to a huge share of any profits should the French side sell him later down the line.
Greenwood, one time considered one of the club’s best young talents, made his senior debut for United in 2019, swiftly becoming part of the first-team.
In a brief statement confirming his departure, the club wrote: ‘We wish Mason all the best in his future career.’
