An unexpected surprise! British media: Greenwood is in hot form, and Manchester United may receive a huge transfer share

Hupu, October 23, British media "UnitedinFocus" reported that as Greenwood's performance in Marseille continues to be hot, Manchester United has begun to pay close attention to his future trends. Sources revealed that the club expects to receive a "significant" secondary transfer share in 2026.

Greenwood was sold to Marseille under special circumstances last year, and the transfer fee at the time did not reflect his true market value. Manchester United chose to accept a lower fixed fee in the deal and retained a 50% secondary transfer share clause. Now, the design could bring huge benefits.

It is reported that many European giants such as Barcelona are paying attention to the England forward who is recovering in form. Greenwood has continued to perform brilliantly in the French Ligue 1 recently, even scoring four goals in a single game, and has become one of the most outstanding players in the league.

Sources revealed that if Marseille sells Greenwood to other clubs in the future, for example, if the offer reaches the level of 70 million pounds, Manchester United will receive according to the terms: if the share becomes 50% of the total transfer amount, the Red Devils will receive about 35 million pounds; if the share becomes 50% of the profit, the income will be about 22.5 million pounds (Marseille's purchase price is about 25 million pounds).

No matter what the situation is, the funds will be recorded as pure profits, which can significantly relieve the club's financial pressure and provide room for summer window signings. At the same time, this clause will also encourage Marseille to raise the asking price as much as possible in negotiations, because they must hand over half of the proceeds to Manchester United.

In the end, Manchester United will be the biggest beneficiary of this deal - successfully recovering a considerable sum of money, and this player is no longer in the team's future plans. Inside the club, it is believed that this will be a typical "asset management success story".
