Mason Greenwood being eyed by La Liga giants, his sale could potentially land Man United millions | OneFootball

Manchester United’s win over Everton helped them climb up to ninth in the Premier League table while their midweek victory over Bodo/Glimt meant the Red Devils are 12th in the Europa League standings.

Ruben Amorim needs all the help he can get to take the club back to the top but INEOS have already informed him that he is unlikely to receive any major help in January.

To make matters worse, after years of poor spending under the Glazers, the new co-owners are unlikely to offer the Portuguese tactician a huge war chest in the summer as well, with Amorim asked to work with the players at his disposal.

To steer clear of PSR concerns, the 20-time English league champions might be forced to sell players in order to acquire the targets outlined by the new head coach.

La Liga giants eyeing Greenwood

TBR Football have some good news in that regard, claiming former United forward Mason Greenwood is attracting interest from Spain’s big three — Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and could be on his way next summer.

United sold the England international to Marseille this summer for €23.6 million plus €8m in add-ons and as per the report, they included a hefty 50% sell-on clause which is likely to net United millions should the 23-year-old move next year.

“In 2025 – however – TBR Football understand Manchester United could receive millions without doing anything, due to Mason Greenwood.

“Sources have now informed TBR Football that Barcelona and Real Madrid are closely monitoring the Marseille No.10 after his excellent start to life in France.

“Greenwood has already netted nine goals in just 13 Ligue 1 appearances this season – while also providing two assists – form which has alerted Atletico Madrid as well as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

“TBR Football understand his sell-on clause is worth around 50% – which could secure INEOS a small fortune and alleviate the need for Ratcliffe to undergo any further cost cutting procedures.”

Marseille will not agree to a sale unless they earn a decent profit on their initial investment and the higher the transfer fee, the more United could potentially land.

50% sell-on clause helpful for United

As previously relayed by The Peoples Person, all three clubs were interested in the United academy graduate last season as well, when he was out on loan at Getafe.

Greenwood had scored ten goals and registered a further six assists in 36 appearances during his time in Spain, winning the club’s Player of the Season award.

Fan pressure had meant all three steered clear of a move this year but next year could be different after the player’s exploits in France despite the initial backlash.

Once tipped to become a superstar at Old Trafford, the forward was arrested on claims of assault and attempted rape and while the case was eventually dropped, the available proof meant fan pressure increased on United who were ultimately forced to part ways with him.

While he could not fulfill his undoubted potential at the club, his sale could represent a decent profit for INEOS and hopefully, that will be of use to the new coach.
