Mason Will John Greenwood (born 1 October 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Marseille.

A graduate of Manchester United's youth system, Greenwood scored in a UEFA Europa League match against Astana in September 2019, to become the club's youngest ever goalscorer in European competition at the age of 17 years, 353 days.

In October 2022, Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and controlling and coercive behaviour.

[5] After progressing through the academy ranks, he joined up with the Under-18 squad for the 2017–18 season, despite being eligible for the Under-16s, and finished as top scorer of the U18 Premier League North with 17 goals in 21 games.

[11] In December, he was selected by José Mourinho to train with the first team ahead of their UEFA Champions League match against Valencia.

[12] On 6 March 2019, under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Greenwood made his competitive debut as an 87th-minute substitute in a 3–1 win against Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League.

[13] At the age of 17 years and 156 days, he became the second-youngest player to represent the club in a European competition (behind only Norman Whiteside) and the youngest ever in the Champions League era.

[22] On 12 December, he scored twice and won a penalty in the final game of the Europa League group stage against AZ Alkmaar.

[30] He joined a famous list of players to wear the number 11, most notably Ryan Giggs, a fellow academy product who retired in 2014 as the leading appearance maker for United with 963.

[33] On 24 January 2021, Greenwood scored his first FA Cup goal of the season in a 3–2 home win against arch-rivals Liverpool in the fourth round.

[34] He played the full 90 minutes in the Premier League record-equalling 9–0 home win against Southampton on 2 February,[35] and two weeks later he extended his contract to June 2025 with the option of a further year.

[36] He broke a four-month goal drought in the league on 4 April, scoring the winner against Brighton & Hove Albion which ended 2–1 at home.

[38] This earnt him his first nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month, which was won by teammate Jesse Lingard, who was on loan at West Ham.

[39] On 29 April, Greenwood scored his first goal in the UEFA Europa League for the season against Roma during the first leg of the semi-finals in a 6–2 home victory.

He played 100 minutes before being substituted in the first period of extra time for Fred; the match ended 1–1 and the Spanish club won 12–11 on penalties.

[53] After the criminal charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023 due to "the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light", United began their own investigation into the events that caused his initial 2022 arrest.

[56] Among those who publicly criticised the club's handling of Greenwood's case were domestic violence charity Women's Aid and Stretford and Urmston MP Andrew Western.

[56] Given the backlash, the club's top executives changed their minds by 18 August, deciding that Greenwood should not return, reported The Daily Telegraph.

[64] Greenwood was sent off on 2 January 2024 in a 2–0 home loss to fellow Community of Madrid side Rayo Vallecano, for swearing at the referee in English.

[69] Two weeks later, he scored twice in the space of a minute in a 3–1 victory away to Toulouse to reach five goals in his first three games, matching Mario Balotelli's 2016 record for Nice.

[76] On 30 August 2019, Greenwood was included in the England under-21 squad for the first time[77] and made his debut as a 59th-minute substitute during the 3–2 win against Turkey on 6 September in qualifying for the 2021 European Under-21 Championship.

[82] Greenwood was not selected for the September 2021 World Cup qualifiers by England manager Gareth Southgate who stated, "He is in our thoughts, I've spoken with him and his club, he is a player we really like.

[6] He often played on the right flank for Manchester United, as well as moving more centrally to occupy as a second striker when the ball is fed into the penalty area.

[101] According to Manchester United's CEO Richard Arnold in August 2023, the "alleged victim requested the police to drop their investigation in April 2022".

[109] On 2 February 2023, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges against Greenwood, citing the withdrawal of key witnesses and "new material that came to light".
