The Red Devils’ academy graduate is set to leave the club this summer, as Old Trafford bosses have determined that his future lies away from the club. It has been revealed that he will be playing for a team in France, with a reported initial fee of €27.6m (£23.3m) that could rise to €31.6million (£26.7m) with add-ons. However, there are still formalities to be completed, including the player traveling to France, undergoing a medical examination, and signing a contract with his new club. Notably, the transfer guarantees the Red Devils a profit of at least £23.3m due to the player being an academy graduate, marking the highest profit the club has made on a sale since Ferguson retired.
Following a loan move to Getafe and a reported struggle with injury, the 22-year-old made only 20 appearances for his team, emphasizing that the decision was ultimately made by the club, despite him expressing his own thoughts and opinions. In January 2022, the player was suspended by United after being arrested for serious allegations, but the case was later discontinued and all charges were withdrawn. The departure of Greenwood adds to a series of other exits from Old Trafford this summer, including the sales of Donny van de Beek, Willy Kambwala, and Alvaro Fernandez, as well as the release of several first-team regulars such as Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, and Brandon Williams at the end of their contracts. There have been expressions of opinion by the club’s coaching staff about Greenwood’s future, but the final decision is yet to be made.
