Manchester United are reportedly regretting their decision to sell Mason Greenwood to Marseille last summer for just £27m.
The forward has been in brilliant form, scoring five goals in six games in Ligue 1. Reports now suggest that Barcelona could make a £60m offer for Greenwood in 2025.
Key figures at United believe Greenwood could be worth £100m in the near future, meaning they may have missed out on a potential £73m profit.
United’s Backup Plan: Sell-On Clause
Although United sold Greenwood for less, they included a 40-50% sell-on clause.
If Barcelona’s reported £60m move happens, United could receive up to £30m from the deal.
This, combined with the original transfer fee, would bring United’s total earnings from Greenwood to around £57m, still much less than the £100m they fear Greenwood might eventually be worth.
Greenwood’s International Future
In another twist, Greenwood could be switching international allegiances.
Once a part of England’s youth setup, the forward is now looking to represent Jamaica on the international stage.
Interest in Garnacho Grows
Meanwhile, United’s young star Alejandro Garnacho is attracting interest from both Barcelona and Juventus.
Although reports suggest Garnacho could be valued at £50m, insiders claim United would not entertain offers below £70m.
Garnacho remains highly rated at Old Trafford, and a sale is considered unlikely despite the growing interest.
Potential Managerial Change at Old Trafford
In other news, Manchester United could be considering managerial changes, with Thomas Tuchel reportedly being eyed as a possible replacement for Erik ten Hag.
Tuchel is currently unemployed, and United officials have him as their top candidate should they decide to part ways with Ten Hag.
