Marseille fans and mayor demand 'shameful' Greenwood deal abandoned
Marseille’s bid to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United has sparked a huge backlash in the French city.
According to various reports, the French side have had an offer worth around £27million accepted for the 22-year-old.
Greenwood has not played for United since being suspended on January 30, 2022, over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online.
Mayor Benoit Payan says ir will bring "shame" to the city.
He told French radio station RMC: "Greenwood’s behaviour is unspeakable, unacceptable. Hitting his wife… I saw images that deeply shocked me. Massacring his wife in this way is unbecoming of a man and he cannot have his place on this team.
He added: "The values of OM and Marseille are anything but that in fact. It’s a shame. I will ask [club president] Pablo Longoria not to recruit Greenwood. I don’t want my club to be covered with the shame of someone who hits his wife."
