Ex-Manchester United star Mason Greenwood's career about to suffer another shocking setback
Ex-Manchester United star Mason Greenwood's career about to suffer another shocking setback
Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is facing an uncertain future at Olympique de Marseille ahead of the summer transfer window.
After a period of suspension at United, Greenwood slowly rediscovered his form at Getafe during the 2023/24 campaign. His impressive stint in LaLiga led to a big move to Marseille.

The Phocaeans agreed a deal worth over £26 million with United to secure his services on a permanent transfer before the start of the current campaign.
The ex-Red Devil took little time to establish himself as the side's most important attacker under Roberto De Zerbi. In fact, only Ousmane Dembélé (21) has scored more goals than Greenwood (15) in Ligue 1 this term.
However, the Englishman finds himself in hot water in the south of France due to his tricky relationship with De Zerbi.
Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Greenwood was involved in a heated exchange with the ex-Brighton and Hove Albion manager during a training session.
Ex-Manchester United man Mason Greenwood handed Marseille ultimatum
Now, a report from La Provence (via Get French Football News) claims that Greenwood has just two months between now and the end of the season to win back De Zerbi's trust or the 23-year-old could be kicked out of Marseille.

The versatile forward has received backlash from De Zerbi for his work ethic as well as his physical condition.
The Italian even dropped his talisman to the bench in back-to-back outings against Lens and Paris Saint-Germain. Marseille lost both games.
If things don't improve, a host of clubs could attempt to take advantage of the situation at Marseille as he has attracted plenty of interest with his goalscoring prowess.
United would be interested in any possible movement as the Red Devils stand to make a huge profit on his sale as they included a 50 per cent sell-on clause before parting ways last summer.

However, it is suggested that Greenwood is determined to fight for his place in De Zerbi's squad as he returned to training early during the international break to get back into shape. The manager has reportedly admired the effort.

Manchester United star Amad withdraws from Ivory Coast squad
Manchester United forward Amad has withdrawn from the Ivory Coast squad ahead of their upcoming friendlies in Canada. Ivory Coast are set to face New Zealand on Sunday, 8 June, before facing Canada three days later at BMO Field in Toronto. Advertisement Amad was expected to be available to Emerse Faé for selection, having missed the 2026 World Cup qualifying victories over Burundi and The Gambia in March due to an ankle injury. However, the Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF) have confirmed that the United star is one of two players who will not be part of the squad due to 'administrative reasons.' They don't specify the exact nature of these 'administrative reasons.' A FIF statement read [via SABC Sport], 'The Ivorian Football Federation informs the press and the public that players Amad Diallo and Dorgeles Maho, called up by national coach Emerse Fae as part of the four-nation tournament called the Canadian Shield, are unavailable for administrative reasons.' 'Consequently, Manchester United player Amad Diallo and Dorgeles Mario of FC Nordsjaelland are respectively replaced by Atlanta United Football Club player Emmanuel Latte and Mory Gbane of Stade de Reims for this friendly international competition in Toronto, Canada.' Advertisement Amad has not featured for his country since September 2024 when he came on as a substitute in Ivory Coast's 2-0 win against Chad in the group stages of the Africa Cup of Nations. He has won six caps for Ivory Coast and scored just one goal for them. Amad's absence is undoubtedly a big miss for the African nation, especially after his superb season for United. Despite the Red Devils finishing a lowly 15th place in the Premier League table, having suffered 18 defeats and amassing just 42 points, Amad put up incredible numbers. The 22-year-old registered 11 goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions. It's worth noting that he missed three months of the campaign with the ankle injury. He's grown into an important part of Ruben Amorim's side, with next season shaping up to be a defining one for him. Follow us on Bluesky: @

Matteo Manassero and Ryan Fox share the 3rd-round lead in the RBC Canadian Open
CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Matteo Manassero and Ryan Fox each shot 6-under 64 on Saturday to share the third-round lead in the RBC Canadian Open, the final event before the U.S. Open next week at Oakmont. Manassero rebounded from a three-putt bogey on the par-4 17th with a birdie on the par-5 18th — hitting an 80-yard third shot to 2 feet — to get to 14-under 196 on the North Course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. 'I missed the short one on 17, and I did miss a couple more short ones today,' Manassero said. 'I try to think of them just like a shot really, like a driver, like a 6-iron, whatever. It's just a shot. So I don't want it to get in my head, and I don't want that to ruin anything or my attitude going towards the next shots.' Trying to win for the first time on the PGA Tour, the 32-year-old Italian player has eight international victories. 'I try to get a good attitude, a good thought process, talk well to myself. Very basic things,' Manassero said. 'I've matured a lot and I have a better perspective towards, for example, a day like tomorrow." Fox also birdied the 18th. The 38-year-old player from New Zealand won the Myrtle Beach Classic last month in a playoff for his first PGA Tour title. 'To be honest, everything went pretty right,' Fox said. 'I drove it great. I think if you do that round here, you give yourself lots of chances. Had a lot of good wedge shots, holed a few putts early. Just played really solid kind of stress-free golf for the most part.' Lee Hodges, Kevin Yu and Matt McCarty were a stroke back. Hodges and Yu shot 63, and McCarty had a 64. Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (64) was 12 under with Jake Knapp (66) and Andrew Putnam (68). 'I've been putting the ball in play quite a bit, driving it pretty nice,' Hughes said. 'I feel like that's taken some pressure off the putter and the short game. It's a big key around here. You start driving it well, you can attack and be aggressive.' Canadian Nick Taylor, the 2023 winner at Oakville, eagled the 18th for a 69 to get to 10 under. Countrymen Adam Hadwin (65) and Taylor Pendrith (67) also were 10 under. ___
