Mason Greenwood's explosive form at Marseille is not only helping him regain his lost glory but also inadvertently preparing Manchester United to earn a huge profit thanks to a clever buy-back clause.

Joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 for a fee of £26.7 million, Greenwood quickly revived his career after a difficult period in England. In the 2024/25 season, he scored 22 goals and provided 6 assists, becoming the brightest star of the French club. Moving into the 2025/26 season, the English forward continues to maintain an impressive rate with 9 goals and 4 assists in 15 matches across all competitions.

In the recent 3-0 win over Brest in the 12th round of Ligue 1, Greenwood once again made his mark with a beautiful goal, thereby increasing his total Ligue 1 goals to 9, helping Marseille stay in the European competition spots.

According to statistics from the CIES Football Observatory, Greenwood's transfer value has surged significantly within a few months. In August, he was valued at a maximum of €57 million (£49.3 million), but by November, this figure rose to €64 million (£56.2 million), with the minimum value also increasing to €57 million (£48.3 million).

Notably, Manchester United cleverly included a clause in the contract entitling them to 40-50% of the transfer fee if Marseille sells Greenwood to another club. At the current price, the Red Devils could earn about £25 million — a substantial amount for a player who quietly left Old Trafford.

Greenwood was once the biggest hope of Manchester United's academy but had to leave the club in 2022 after serious legal troubles. Although the case was dropped, Greenwood had no way back due to strong internal opposition. After a loan spell at Getafe, he was officially transferred to Marseille, where he is now rewriting his career.

Despite leaving Old Trafford, Greenwood still helps MU earn a “huge” sum

His outstanding form has attracted interest from many top clubs, including Barcelona, Napoli, and some English teams considering bringing him back to the Premier League. Coach Roberto De Zerbi also highly praises his pupil: “He has the qualities of a world-class player. Greenwood works very hard and is proving his worth with every match.”

Currently, Greenwood ranks third on the Ligue 1 top scorer list. If he maintains this form, his transfer value could easily exceed €70 million, meaning Manchester United will continue to benefit doubly — earning money while watching their academy product prove his class in Europe.

Although no longer wearing the red of Old Trafford, Mason Greenwood is still helping Manchester United “strike gold” from afar, a testament to the strong comeback of a talent once thought lost.
