Manchester United will have one eye on Mason Greenwood’s future this summer, and they’ve just received a transfer update.
The good start Mason Greenwood made at Marseille this season trailed off massively as the club plunged into a crisis.
Greenwood had problems with De Zerbi, who eventually walked away, and has since apologised for defending Greenwood in France.
Their sporting director publicly accepted that they’d listen to offers for Greenwood recently, and United have now received an update.
How much do you think Man Utd will spend in this window?
It can be revealed that £243m will already be leaving Old Trafford this summer…
Mason Greenwood wanted by two Fenerbahce factions
If there was any ill-informed noise about how Man Utd should have brought back Greenwood after his hot start at Marseille, the latest update should cease those conversations.
As per the BBC, Greenwood’s next destination could be where most careers go to stay away from elite scrutiny.
The report states that both the presidential candidates at Fenerbahce have positioned Greenwood as their top target.
Aziz Yildirim and Hakan Safi are competing to become the president, with the result due to be announced on Sunday.
Regardless of who wins, the ultimate winner will be United, because they hold a ‘sizeable’ sell-on clause for the player.
It goes without saying that those rumours of a move to an elite team are silent now, but anything more they get for Greenwood will be a bonus.
It is also thought that United’s clause is on the percentage of the fee, rather than profit on the fee, so they will get a portion of the fee even if he’s sold for less than the £26m he fetched United from Marseille.
In either case, it’s bonus money on a player who would have never played for the club again, and crashed and burned at Marseille as well, albeit after a good start.
