Man Utd To Get Fresh Profit From the Mason Greenwood Sale
Marseille signed Greenwood for a total package of £26.7million from United this summer, and even though Manchester United have secured a hefty sell-on clause, it’s undoubtedly — off-field issues aside — a good price for a player of his age and ability. Other European clubs like Lazio were also keen to sign him.
The 22-year-old permanently left United after the club ditched plans to reintegrate him into their first-team squad last summer following fierce public and internal backlash that came after a story from The Athletic breaking news of the club’s plans. United subsequently loaned him to Getafe in La Liga, where he won their player of the season award last season.
