At first the board wanted me to stay but He was the only person that wants me out and I’m glad that I have found a new club,” Mason Greenwood finally revealed the only Manchester United man that pushed Him out of the
Mason Greenwood recently took to social media to mark a significant milestone in his football career: a permanent move to Olympique de Marseille. This comes after Manchester United officially announced Greenwood’s transfer to the French club for a fee of £26.6 million (€31.6 million). The 22-year-old striker completed his transfer on Wednesday after traveling to France and successfully passing his medical examination. Greenwood has committed to a five-year contract with Marseille, a deal that highlights the club’s long-term plans for him.
Marseille released a statement expressing their enthusiasm about the new acquisition. “Olympique de Marseille is thrilled to announce the signing of Mason Greenwood from Manchester United. The 22-year-old forward has joined our ranks following a successful medical examination,” the statement read. The club went on to praise Greenwood’s versatility and skill, noting his proficiency with both feet and his ability to play in various offensive positions. During his time at Manchester United, Greenwood accumulated an impressive record of 35 goals and 12 assists in 129 appearances. His talent and performance at Old Trafford earned him a call-up to the England national team in September 2020, at just 19 years old.
Celebrating this new chapter, Greenwood posted a photo on Instagram of him signing his contract with Marseille. “Really excited for this new chapter. Allez l’OM!,” he wrote, signaling his enthusiasm for the journey ahead with the French club.
Manchester United also issued a statement regarding Greenwood’s departure. “Mason Greenwood has left Manchester United and joined French club Olympique de Marseille on a permanent transfer. The 22-year-old English forward, who spent last season on loan at Getafe in Spain, made 129 appearances and scored 35 goals for United since making his debut in 2019. We wish Mason all the best in his future career.” United’s decision to transfer Greenwood permanently follows his season-long loan to Getafe, where he continued to develop his skills. Additionally, the club has included a sell-on clause in the deal, ensuring they will benefit financially from any future transfers involving Greenwood.
This move represents a fresh start for Greenwood, who is eager to make his mark in Ligue 1 and contribute to Marseille’s success. The young striker’s journey from Old Trafford to the Stade Vélodrome is one that holds much promise and potential, both for him and for his new club.
