Happy Manchester United preseason training camp opens day to all who celebrate. One guy who is not feeling festive about that is Mason Greenwood, as he still doesn’t know where he will be footballing this upcoming season. We just know that his MUFC days are through. However, we could see an actual answer relatively soon, as Marseille have actually sent a bid in now.
Things are starting to actually move along now.
???? Understand Olympique Marseille have sent formal bid to Manchester United for Mason Greenwood!
Talks underway between the two clubs, Greenwoodโs still OM main target with agreement getting closer.

As we reported yesterday, Greenwood is getting very impatient about how this process still isn’t settled. Can’t say we blame. United are said to be wanting ยฃ40 million ($51m) for the English attacking player, but the best offer they have received thus far is ยฃ25 million from Valencia, As Romano didn’t say how much the bid amount was, we just don’t know if it Marseille’s offer was higher or not.
There have also been rumors of a ยฃ21 million bid from Serie A side Lazio, and it is understood that Greenwood would rather move to Serie A than to Marseille.
However, he might have to just take what he can get at this point.
