Marseille president Pablo Longoria admits to having sought the advice of his mother before completing a controversial transfer for ex-Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood. The one-cap England international made his way to Stade Velodrome during the summer of 2024, having seen headlines made off the field bring an end to his spell at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have reportedly held internal discussions regarding the possibility of bringing Mason Greenwood back to the club from French side Marseille. The forward was sold to the Ligue 1 side in 2024 but the Red Devils included a buy-back clause in the transfer. Greenwood has gone on to become a key player for Robert De Zerbi's side which has sparked speculation he could move on.
Mason Greenwood is preparing for arguably the most high-profile match of his Marseille career so far as Premier League champions Liverpool arrive on the south coast of France. But while the Champions League clash will be talked up as an audition for England's World Cup squad in some grubby corners of the internet, the reality is that the damage done to Greenwood's reputation in his homeland is irreparable - regardless of his exploits at Stade Velodrome.
Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri has reportedly held “positive” talks regarding a loan move to Ligue 1 giants Marseille. The talented 18-year-old playmaker is eager to find regular game time early in 2026, with fierce competition for places being faced at Emirates Stadium. Any switch to France would see the youngster link up with ex-Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood and former Gunners striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
