Overview

  • Football Insider reports that Manchester United officials have internally discussed re-signing Mason Greenwood and that a buy-back clause was included in his 2024 sale to Marseille, though the club has not confirmed this.
  • Coverage details Greenwood’s form at Marseille with 42 goals in 63 appearances, including a shared Ligue 1 Golden Boot in 2024–25 and league-leading scoring this season.
  • United are reported to benefit from a substantial sell-on clause if Marseille sell Greenwood, with outlets differing on the exact percentage and no official figure disclosed.
  • The Manchester Evening News cites AS in reporting that Getafe hold a 20% share of any profit United would make from a Greenwood resale and that Getafe have put that stake up for sale to raise funds.
  • Legal proceedings against Greenwood were discontinued by the CPS and GMP in February 2023, public opposition to any Premier League return remains strong, England manager Thomas Tuchel has said he is not considering him, and Greenwood has filed to represent Jamaica without yet debuting.
