Man Utd is reportedly going to land 50% of the fees Marseille brings to Mason Greenwood this summer, amid interest from Saudi clubs.
The Red Devils have made two major signings so far. Matthews Kuña joined from the wolves for £62.5 million and Brian Mbeumo arrived from Brentford for £71 million.
Man UTD is rumored to want three more signatures before the transfer window ends, with striker, defensive midfielder and goalkeeper having radar positions.
The Red Devils are currently aiming to offload as many “bomb troops” as possible, with Marcus Rashford finally completing his move to Barcelona last week.
Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are four other players considering selling or renting this summer.
It will help them raise funds for more reception with those who are watching to sign Benjamin Sesco in RB Leipzig or Ollie Watkins in Aston Villa.

One way UTD can get an unexpected boost this summer is if Greenwood left Marseille in the French newspaper L’Equipe and claims he has a 50% sell-on clause in the deal the Red Devils negotiated to sell him to the League 1 club in 2024.
L’Equipe revealed what “the source close to the case” told them. “Essentially, if OM sells him for 50 million euros, they buy him and collects 25 million euros for 50 million euros.”
According to a report from France, “Greenwood will leave a large sum of money given his performance, the strong interest that Saudi clubs show this summer, and his age (23).”
Former CBS sports journalist Ben Jacobs provided an update on Man UTD’s interest in Sesko and Watkins on Tuesday morning.

Jacobs wrote to X: “Manchester United explored both Benjamin Sesco and Ollie Watkins. As @lauriewhitwell called it, there is an effort currently surrounded by these two. As reported, Ollie Watkins’ talk has already been made. The villa prefers to keep sales without replacing and does not enjoy sales.
“They treasure Watkins for £60 million, but they believe that if United finds another striker, they think there will be little deals. Manchester United also explored Sesco in a move promoted by Christopher Vivell. Leipzig is still hoping for over €80 million. #MUFC is currently facing competition with Newcastle, which is now more advanced in debate. Both clubs hope that prices will approach €70 million.
“A bid for Nicholas Jackson is unlikely. Manchester United is currently not a deal they are working on for the costs.
