Manchester United prepare for outcast’s return as sale branded ‘unlikely’

Manchester United may not be set to sell Mason Greenwood after all, with reports emerging which suggest a deal is unlikely .

Greenwood, 23, has not played since being suspended by after allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend emerged in 2022.

He spent last season on loan at Getafe in La Liga, and there had been linked with clubs across Europe including Juventus, Lazio and most recently Marseille, who have recently appointed former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi as their new coach.

The cost of any deal is said to be around £40m but reports in France suggest Marseille cannot afford to pay such a fee, increasing the likelihood that Greenwood will be back at Old Trafford next season. There has also been some opposition of a deal from some Marseille fans.
