When United sold the striker to the Olympian club, the Manchester Evening News reports that the club has negotiated a future resale clause up to 50 % of the amount of the transaction. The club could thus pocket up to 15 million pounds sterling, its current value being estimated at around 30 million pounds sterling. United suspended the player after he was charged by police attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior and aggression that caused bodily injuries. He no longer played for the club. The charges were abandoned and he was loaned to Getafe, then definitively in Marseille, where he scored 15 goals in 26 Ligue 1 matches.
Despite his offensive performances in Marseille, the attacker seems to have fallen out of coach Roberto de Zerbi. His exclusion from the team could lower the player's transfer value to Marseille and, given the interest of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the financial windfall of United could be reduced. Greenwood was not selected by the Italian in the last two games and seems to have to seriously re -win Zerbi.
Greenwood to the start?
The Italian coach said: “ I expect more from him. He must do more, because what he currently shows is not enough. If he wants to achieve his ambition to become champion, he must be more regular, make more sacrifices and show more determination. Otherwise, the team always falls back into the same scheme: a very good match, then a defeat in Auxerre, then a victory against Nantes … It's too irregular, they are waves. And that's something I don't like. “
The former United striker tries to send a message to his coach when he arrives at training early, but he will have to show more than the simple desire to rebuild an apparently broken relationship. It remains to be seen whether Greenwood will return to the team during the trip from Marseille to Reims next weekend.
