Greenwood, a visit that questions

For several days, Mason Greenwood has been in Manchester. Officially, it is for the old Red Devil to keep the pace during the truce. But one week before the resumption of OM (scheduled for July 7), the prolonged absence of the scorer intrigues. On social networks, clichés show it in full training session, ball at the foot, on a lawn in northern England, in the company of Man Meloror, a former teammate trained in United.

Far from being harmless, this homecoming occurs while rumors are intensifying around the player's future. FC Barcelona, ​​but also some English stables, would keep an attentive eye on its situation. Some even go so far as to mention the hypothesis of a surprise return to Manchester United, despite the official rupture consumed in 2024. For the moment, Greenwood remains silent, and neither the OM nor his entourage deny nor confirm anything.

Internally, however, the Olympian management has shown no sign of opening to a sale. Roberto de Zerbi still considers Greenwood one of the spearheads of his offensive project. At the beginning of last month, OM had also published a message leaving little room for doubt: “We can't wait to see more, Mason. A symbolic commitment, but which is not enough to reassure all supporters.

Greenwood, a vague summer but not necessarily hectic

The reality is more banal than it seems. Greenwood, on vacation in England, maintains his physical form in a setting he knows well. This logistical choice, although prolonged, does not mean that it thinks of a departure. Unless it is impossible to refuse, OM always expects to see it reintegrate the workforce in a few days. The player has not expressed any desire for departure.

The situation of Mason Greenwood fuels speculation, but does not question – for the moment – its second season in blue and white. His contract runs until 2029, and Marseille has no pressure to sell. The rumors are rude, but as long as Greenwood has not missed on July 7, it would be premature to see a summer of rupture.
