Manchester United’s summer business is dependent on player sales with INEOS working on raising as much capital as possible for Ruben Amorim to reinvest into the squad.
Academy sales constitute pure profit which is why the co-owners are desperate to sell Marcus Rashford and are even contemplating moving on Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
Another Carrington graduate whose summer sale could lead to an inflow of cash into United’s coffers is Mason Greenwood, currently Ligue 1’s second top scorer.
The 23-year-old has 19 goals and five assists this season and is the subject of interest from all across Europe with the player himself desperate to return to the Premier League as per reports.
Greenwood’s form
English clubs are reluctant to move for the England international knowing the circumstances which led to his exit from United but CaughtOffside have claimed senior Liverpool figures want the club to try and sign the Marseille man.
“Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is “virtually certain” to leave Anfield this summer, and sources have also revealed a top Reds target to replace him.
“The latest information provided to CaughtOffside is that Liverpool have been in contact for more information on Mason Greenwood‘s situation at Marseille ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.
“Liverpool plan to make changes up front this summer and are considering a number of options, but Greenwood is someone increasingly appreciated by senior figures at Anfield.
Liverpool want Greenwood
“The former Manchester United forward has done well to revive his career in Ligue 1 this season, having also shone on loan at Getafe last season.
“CaughtOffside understands Marseille could be open to selling Greenwood for a big fee, somewhere in the region of €70m.”
United inserted a 50 per cent sell-on clause when selling the Englishman to the Ligue 1 club last summer, which means the Red Devils are liable to receive 50 per cent of the profit made.
Should Liverpool actually go ahead with the deal, the Old Trafford side would be liable to receive £16 million. Whether the Merseyside outfit go ahead with the deal remains to be seen.
