Mason Greenwood puts Premier League on red alert with ex-Man Utd striker desperate to return to England
@Source: thesun.co.uk
MASON GREENWOOD is pining for a return to England — putting a string of Prem clubs on red alert.
The forward, 23, left Manchester United for £26.6million last summer and signed a five-year deal with Marseille in the south of France.
He has scored 19 goals in 33 appearances for the Ligue 1 side.
But he has faced repeated criticism from manager Roberto De Zerbi and was dropped in March for a perceived lack of work-rate.
Greenwood — who had charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour dropped in February 2023 — is yearning for a return to the UK with partner Harriet Robson and their two young daughters.
He signed for Marseille following a successful spell in Spain with Getafe.
And a source revealed: “When Mason first left United he loved Spain.
“He and Harriet moved to Madrid and rebuilt their lives.
“He loved the fact he could just play football and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus.
“He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France.
“But he’s been abroad for nearly two years and the novelty has worn off.
“Mason’s family visit but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home.
“A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on.”
Former Brighton boss De Zerbi dropped Greenwood and criticised his work-rate, saying: “I expect more from him.”
Marseille’s Ultras have also unfurled a banner in the stands during games, urging him to “Get a move on”.
