Manchester United 'reach agreement' for Mason Greenwood transfer

Marseille have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood.

According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, a bid of £26.7m has been accepted by the Reds for the forward. This deal will consist of £23.3m fixed as well as £3.4m worth of add-ons.

United have also negotiated a 'large' sell-on fee in the contract. MEN Sport reported last week United had received bids from the Ligue 1 club and Lazio for Greenwood.

The Serie A club appeared to pull out of the race soon afterwards with their president Claudio Lotito claiming that another player was being lined up instead of Greenwood who is 'ten times better' than the Englishman. United have been in advanced talks with Marseille and Greenwood appeared at Carrington for a brief meeting with the Reds' chiefs on Monday.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Getafe. He was arrested at the end of January 2022 on charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm which led to a suspension by United.

These charges were then dropped in February 2023. Greenwood arrived in La Liga on last summer's deadline day and he would recommence his career in Spain.

He became a favourite in Getafe thanks to his performances. Greenwood made 36 appearances across all competitions scoring ten goals and bagging six assists in that time.

Greenwood is not expected to be the only forward to depart United this summer with Jadon Sancho also available to exit the club should a sufficient bid be received.
