Manchester United remain under pressure to deliver a strong transfer window following another underwhelming Premier League season.
Ruben Amorim’s arrival has brought renewed hope, but with no guarantee of Champions League football next season, the margin for financial missteps has narrowed dramatically.
Ineos are expected to lead a ruthless squad overhaul, and every penny will count as the club navigates Financial Fair Play and Profit & Sustainability Regulations.
United are also still alive in the Europa League, their only realistic path to silverware this season, but off the field, small wins are beginning to take shape.
And one of those has come in the form of Mason Greenwood.
The former United forward, who was sold to Marseille last summer for £25 million, is expected to leave the French club at the end of the season—less than a year after arriving.
Mason Greenwood has been a standout performer in Ligue 1, with 16 goals and 4 assists in just 28 appearances, but recent tension between him and manager Roberto De Zerbi has cast doubt over his long-term future at the club.

French outlet Le10Sport reports that Greenwood now believes he has outgrown Marseille and is preparing for an exit.
His growing reputation as a ‘soloist’ on the pitch and a strained relationship with the manager may have sped up his decision to move on.
Former LOSC midfielder Ludovic Obraniak said, “He is preparing his departure by doing things, you see: 17 goals, 3 assists.
“He is a soloist.
“And I see him taking Marseille more as an opportunity to move on, rather than a desire to commit for the long term.”
Crucially for United, the club inserted a sell-on clause—believed to be around 40–50% of any profit made on Greenwood’s sale.
If Marseille sell Greenwood for around £50 million, that would see United bank a tidy profit of £12.5 million, with every pound counting towards Ineos’ summer rebuild.
Given Greenwood’s zero book value on United’s books, it would represent pure profit—something rare for a club trying to balance the books while chasing on-pitch success.
