Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford have shown their support for Angel Gomes after the former Manchester United midfielder sealed a move to Marseille.
The 24-year-old reached an agreement with the Ligue 1 outfit earlier this week after deciding not to renew his contract at Lille.
After joining Lille from United in 2020, Gomes has gone from strength to strength in France and last year earned his first of four England call-ups.

As he approached the end of his contract at Lille, Gomes was linked with a return to the Premier League, with Tottenham, West Ham, Newcastle United and Liverpool all reportedly interested in the former United man.
But after making the decision to leave Lille at the end of the season, Gomes has now signed for Marseille.
On Thursday, the Ligue 1 outfit took to Instagram to reveal they had reached an agreement with Gomes to join the club ahead of the transfer window reopening later this month, with his former United team-mates Rashford and Greenwood showing by liking the post.
The midfielder's move to the Stade Velodrome will see him reunited with Greenwood, who has played for Marseille since last summer.
Since leaving United last summer, Greenwood has been a hit in France and scored 21 goals and provided six assists to help Roberto de Zerbi's side qualify for the Champions League.
Speaking to The Athletic earlier this week, Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot described Greenwood as an incredible player.
"Mason is an incredible player," said the Frenchman. "If he hadn’t had all of his problems, I think he’d have an image like [Jude] Bellingham. Mason would be the star.
"He’s an exceptional player. He can score with his right foot and his left foot, he has an exceptional shot, he can dribble.
"We’re very lucky to have him. When he’s really focused, he does really great things."
