Manchester United are set to earn a significant payday should Mason Greenwood leave Marseille following recent turmoil at the Ligue 1 club.
The French side plunged into chaos after head coach Roberto De Zerbi resigned following a crushing 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Just days later, Marseille’s sporting director Mehdi Benatia also quit, reportedly after tensions and disagreements with Greenwood became unmanageable behind the scenes.
Reports suggest Greenwood and Benatia clashed on and off the pitch, with the striker allegedly ignoring certain commercial obligations last summer.

Despite the internal conflict, Greenwood has thrived on the field, scoring 23 goals this season across all competitions for Marseille.
Since joining in 2024, Greenwood has amassed 45 goals in 69 appearances, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most potent forwards.
The chaotic environment at Marseille could motivate Greenwood to consider a transfer, especially with elite clubs reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
Manchester United inserted a lucrative sell-on clause when they sold Greenwood, entitling them to 40 to 50 percent of any future profit.
Marseille purchased Greenwood for £26.7 million, and his current market valuation is approximately £60 million, giving United a potential profit share exceeding £10 million.
Interest from clubs including Barcelona has already been reported, highlighting Greenwood’s reputation as a proven goalscorer capable of influencing top-flight competitions, reports Mirror.
Should a summer transfer materialize, Manchester United would gain crucial financial flexibility to reinvest in their squad or fund future transfers.
Greenwood’s performance combined with Marseille’s instability makes this scenario highly plausible, potentially resulting in a record windfall for the Red Devils in 2026.
