French Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille have sent formal bid to Manchester United for Mason Greenwood.
This is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on his X handle.
Romano stated that talks are underway between the two clubs, with Greenwood still Marseille’s main target and agreement getting closer.
He added that United are open to a loan move with obligation to buy, sell-on clause included.
New minority owner of United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, hinted that decisions concerning Greenwood would be made soon.
Earlier this year, he remarked that the club will make a correct decision.
“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that. Is he the right type of footballer, are we happy with if is he a good person or not?
“He’s a Manchester United footballer, so we are in charge of football. So the answer is ‘Yeah, we have to make decisions.’ It’s quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that’s been made.

“He’s on loan obviously, but he’s not the only one. We’ve got one or two footballers that we have to deal with and we have to make a decision on so we will do that. The process will be: understand the facts not the hype.
“Then try and come to fair decision on the basis of values, which is basically is he a good guy or not? Could he play sincerely for Manchester United well, would we be comfortable with it and would the fans be comfortable with it?”
Greenwood has just a year remaining on his Old Trafford contract and has already expressed his desire for his future to be decided within the next week.
He was named Getafe Player of the Season after impressing in the colours of the LaLiga club.
