According to the British media outlet The Mirror.
Manchester United Football Club
Asked to put the sale of Mason -
Greenwood (name)
The proceeds of £27 million were donated to women's charities. 22-year-old Greenwood, who signed for Ligue 1 giants
Marseille, city in south France
After that, United could earn up to £27m, including a fixed transfer fee of £24m already paid by Marseille.
Background
Greenwood last played for United in January 2022, before his career was cut short by an arrest and suspension from the club.In February 2023, the British Prosecution Service dropped a number of charges against Greenwood, and United subsequently conducted a six-month internal investigation before sending Greenwood on loan in September 2023 to La Liga side Getafe.
During his time in La Liga, Greenwood performed well and attracted the attention of several European clubs. He eventually joined Marseille on Thursday, with United adding a 50 percent second transfer split clause to the transfer agreement, which could bring in more revenue for United in the future.
Appeal for contributions
Domestic violence activist David Charron has called on Manchester United to donate transfer proceeds to women's charities. In an interview, Charron said, "Manchester United is a huge global sports club, earning hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Instead of releasing a player (Greenwood) - which they could have easily done - they chose to keep him for their own financial needs, really putting the financial needs of the club ahead of women. "
Charron also pointed out that United did not approach women's charities until the last minute and did not donate to any of them or to local charities, which seems very sad for a club of United's size.
Manchester United's response
United released a brief statement confirming Greenwood's departure, adding, "We wish Greenwood all the best in his future career." At a press conference on Friday, Greenwood spoke but would not discuss the earlier allegations.
This call for donations reflects the public's dissatisfaction with Manchester United's handling of the Greenwood incident. Fans and the community expect Manchester United to show more social responsibility in this incident and to support the affected groups.
