Man Utd Set for Major Cash Injection as Mason Greenwood Sparks Transfer Frenzy

Manchester United are buzzing with excitement as a lucrative cash boost appears on the horizon.

In fact, the prospect comes after a formal offer landed for Mason Greenwood, the 23-year-old star now plying his trade at Marseille. Moreover, the club’s transfer strategies are being reshaped by this unexpected development.

Last season, Greenwood shone during his loan spell at Getafe. He impressed by scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 36 matches. Furthermore, his performances in Spain clearly turned heads across Europe, as several top clubs began to take notice.

Subsequently, Greenwood moved to France by signing for Marseille for €31.6million (£26.6m). Notably, Manchester United secured a sell-on clause when the transfer was finalized. This clause, set between 40 and 50 per cent, means the Red Devils stand to benefit should the forward move again.

Interestingly, Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly submitted a formal offer for Greenwood. They aim to make him a statement signing for the 2025-26 season. As a result, PSG’s bid of €75m (£62.4m / $78.6m) could trigger a significant financial reward for United.

Additionally, if the sell-on clause stands at 40 per cent, United will pocket €30m (£25m / $31.4m). Conversely, a 50 per cent clause could yield up to €37.5m (£31.2m / $39.3m). Consequently, this potential windfall would bolster United’s transfer funds considerably.

Moreover, United boss Ruben Amorim would be delighted by the extra funds. He faced a challenging January, managing to sign only Patrick Dorgu due to financial constraints. In addition, the Portuguese manager is planning a transformative summer to build a side that fits his 3-4-2-1 formation.

Meanwhile, Amorim’s transfer targets include former Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, wing-back Geovany Quenda, and centre-half Castello Lukeba. At the same time, reports indicate that Real Madrid are looking to offload a big name to help fund a move for a Swedish striker. Therefore, United’s summer window could prove to be exceptionally busy.

Ultimately, controversy also surrounds Marcus Rashford’s future. The forward is widely expected to leave permanently after falling out with Amorim. Furthermore, Rashford has already joined Aston Villa on loan and is reportedly eyeing a move to Barcelona. Thus, the summer transfer saga at Old Trafford is set to heat up even further.
