  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The 22-year-old forward has been linked with clubs across Europe on the back of a productive loan spell at La Liga side Getafe in 2023-24 that saw him win their Player of the Year award. The likes of Juventus, Lazio, Valencia and Borussia Dortmund have all been credited with interest in Greenwood.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Marseille are now said to be leading the race, with a formal offer being tabled. It is claimed that United are ready to sanction a switch that would see Greenwood head to France on an initial loan agreement that includes an obligation to buy – which could be worth around €25 million (£21m/$27m) before bonuses.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Fans at Stade Velodrome have, however, been quick to express their opposition to a deal for Greenwood – who saw charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour dropped in February 2023. Marseille followers have started a #GreenwoodNotWelcome hashtag on social media.
