Huge amount Man Utd will make from Mason Greenwood transfer after Marseille fallout

The chaos surrounding Marseille has led to questions regarding Mason Greenwood’s future at the Ligue 1 side

Manchester United would be in line for a mammoth payday should Mason Greenwood leave Marseille amid the turmoil plaguing the French giants. The Ligue 1 outfit have been plunged into chaos over the past week after head coach Roberto De Zerbi left the club following their 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

But that was just the start of it. Just days after the ex-Brighton boss ended his two-year reign in France, Marseille’s sporting director Mehdi Benatia resigned from his role. The 38-year-old, who played for Bayern Munich and Juventus during his career, reportedly clashed with ex-United forward Greenwood.

L’Equipe reported that the pair would ignore each other, while Benatia was said to be a openly vocal critic of Greenwood both on and off the pitch. The reports claim that the forward ignoring commercial responsibilities last summer was a source of anger for the ex-defender.

While Greenwood has enjoyed another fruitful season with 23 goals to his name across all competitions, the tension-filled atmosphere at the club could lead him to seek pastures new.

Should Greenwood leave Marseille, it would indirectly benefit the Red Devils thanks to a sell-on clause they added into the deal when they sold him to Marseille in 2024.
