Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood in talks to exit club

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has engaged in “constructive discussions” with senior football figures at the club regarding his departure from Old Trafford.

BBC Sport reports that Greenwood did not participate in the first day of United’s pre-season training on Monday, and it appears unlikely that this situation will change soon.

The 22-year-old visited United’s training complex briefly to meet with the club’s football leadership team, which includes new sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox. The discussions focused on finding Greenwood a new club.

This visit marked Greenwood’s first time at Carrington since serious allegations were made against him in January 2020, after which the club stated he “would not return to training or playing matches until further notice.” Charges were dropped last year, but Greenwood remained unavailable for selection.

The club initially planned to reintegrate Greenwood into Erik ten Hag’s squad, but reversed this decision. Instead, they released a statement on 21 August confirming a mutual agreement for Greenwood to continue his career away from the club.

Since then, United have not issued any further statements on Greenwood, though their preference remains for him to secure a permanent move. Greenwood spent last season on loan at La Liga outfit Getafe and is now attracting firm interest from Italian side Lazio and French club Marseille, managed by former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi.

While United have not commented on reports of a formal bid from Marseille, BBC Sport indicates that talks are at an advanced stage. Greenwood’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
