Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood react as free transfer seals Man Utd reunion
Angel Gomes has sealed his free transfer move to Marseille, with his former Manchester United team-mates quick to react to the news as he reunites with one of them Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford have expressed their support for Angel Gomes, following the ex-Manchester United midfielder's move to Marseille. The 24-year-old inked a deal with the Ligue 1 club earlier this week after opting not to extend his contract at Lille. Since moving from United to Lille in 2020, Gomes has flourished in France, earning his first of four England call-ups last year. As his contract at Lille neared its end, Gomes was rumoured to be considering a return to the Premier League, with Tottenham, West Ham, Newcastle United and Liverpool all reportedly showing interest in the former United player. However, having decided to part ways with Lille at the season's close, Gomes has now put pen to paper with Marseille. On Thursday, the Ligue 1 side announced on Instagram that they had secured an agreement with Gomes, set to join the club when the transfer window reopens later this month. His former United colleagues, Rashford and Greenwood, showed their support by liking the post. Gomes' move to the Stade Velodrome will reunite him with Greenwood, who has been playing for Marseille since last summer. Greenwood has made quite an impact in France since leaving United last summer, netting 21 goals and providing six assists to help Roberto De Zerbi's team secure a Champions League spot. In a recent interview with The Athletic, Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot hailed Greenwood as an incredible player. The French star heaped praise on him, declaring: "Mason is an incredible player," and went on to say, "If he hadn't had all of his problems, I think he'd have an image like [Jude] Bellingham. Mason would be the star." He continued to extol Mason's virtues, stating, "He's an exceptional player. He can score with his right foot and his left foot, he has an exceptional shot, he can dribble." Expressing gratitude for having such talent in the team, he added, "We're very lucky to have him. When he's really focused, he does really great things."
