The 22-year-old forward, who impressed on loan at La Liga side Getafe last season, has severed ties with the Red Devils on a permanent basis.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-man-utd-huge-price-tag-mason-greenwood-summer-transfer-window-atletico-madrid-asking-getafe-loan-star/blt97e932e9ad3be707" target="_blank">had been looking for £40m ($52m) from any deal</a> involving Greenwood, but The Telegraph has explained why they were happy to agree terms with Marseille. A sell-on clause has been agreed upon, with Premier League giants set to take a 50 per cent cut of any future fee.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There is also a buy-back option in Greenwood’s new contract, which could offer him a way back to Old Trafford. <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/07/22/mason-greenwood-manchester-united-marseille-getafe-transfer/ " target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> claims a retracing of steps remains unlikely, with the chances of United triggering the clause in the winger’s deal “considered very low”.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Red Devils are more concerned about the sell-on clause that could stand to benefit them considerably in future windows. Greenwood is expected to use Marseille as another stepping stone en route to eventually joining another superpower of European football.
