Greenwood has signed a deal that is set to keep him at the Marseille Stadium until June 2029, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
It is claimed the French side paid an initial €27.6 million (about R548 million), which could rise to just over €31 million (R616 million) due to add-ons, to secure the striker's services.
A sell-on clause of 50% is also said to have been included in the deal.
Greenwood's transfer away from Old Trafford comes after charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against him were dropped in February 2023.
United, however, decided that he would not reignite his career at the club, resulting in the forward joining Getafe for a season-long loan, where he impressed with his performances.
