Manchester United have agreed to a £26.7 million offer for Mason Greenwood. The 22-year old will be leaving the Red Devils following a season-long loan at Getafe. Greenwood graduated from Manchester United’s academy.
The 22-year old made 33 appearances for Getafe, securing an impressive 14 goals and assists in his only season in La Liga. These numbers are quite good for a player like Greenwood. Especially considering he would make a return to football in 2023. Mason Greenwood was a rising star at Manchester United. However, the suspicion of rape and assault in late 2022 would put his career to a halt.
Consequently, United would drop Greenwood from the squad, following his inquiry. Subsequently, charges would be dropped against the 22-year old. However, the Red Devils did not want Greenwood to play for them again. But, selling the 22-year old winger for a good fee was difficult at the time. Especially, considering he was out of touch for so long.
United would secure a loan move for Greenwood to get a good valuation for the youngster. Although, any money United would get for Greenwood would be pure profit. Considering, he is an Old Trafford academy graduate. Eventually, the Red Devils’ decision would pay off as Mason Greenwood will be leaving Manchester United for Marseille on a £26.7 million transfer fee!
