Manchester United have reportedly opened talks to sell Mason Greenwood to Marseille. The one-cap England international hasn't played for the Red Devils since January 2022 and spent last season on loan at Getafe.

United suspended Greenwood after he was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

But they refused to reintegrate him into their team after the charges were later dropped and instead shipped him off to Spain on a temporary basis.

According to The Athletic, Marseille are exploring a deal to sign Greenwood and have opened talks with United.

Discussions are said to be at an early stage and finances are yet to be discussed. But the player is believed to favour a move to Marseille following positive dialogue with the French team.

A move to Marseille could see Greenwood linking up with Roberto De Zerbi, with the 45-year-old reportedly agreeing to take charge at the Orange Velodrome after leaving Brighton at the end of last season.

United players are due back for pre-season training on Monday, July 8 before taking on Rosenborg in Norway a week later.

The club would prefer to sell Greenwood this summer, but aren't ruling out another loan move or even a return to training alongside his United team-mates.
