Mason Greenwood
The English forward who broke through at Manchester United — now playing at Marseille after a turbulent spell
Active — Mason Greenwood is an English forward who broke into Manchester United's first team as a teenager. After a period away from the club, he played on loan at Getafe, then at Marseille. He remains an active professional footballer.
Mason Greenwood was born in 2001 in England and was regarded as one of the most promising young talents of his generation. A two-footed, composed forward, he broke into Manchester United's first team as a teenager and scored with regularity.
Greenwood's career was sharply disrupted when he was suspended by the club in 2022 amid legal proceedings. The charges against him were withdrawn in 2023, and he has continued his playing career since — first on loan at Getafe in Spain, then at Marseille in France.
He remains an active professional footballer, seeking to rebuild his career away from the intense spotlight of Manchester United. His story is one of precocious talent interrupted by serious off-field events and a fresh start abroad.
