Manchester United continues to benefit from Mason Greenwood sale
Greenwood appeared to be an outstanding talent when he first rose from United’s youth ranks to the first team, but in the end the club had no choice but to let him go.
The 24-year-old was arrested after very serious charges were laid against him, but these charges were later dropped. However, this led to him being suspended by United and he never played for United again.
Greenwood has since steadily rebuilt his career, but a return to the Premier League seems unlikely.

Overall, MUFC is making big profits by selling academy players who didn’t cost money to sign in the first place.
BBC Sport reported at the time that when Greenwood was first sold to Marseille, they secured £26.6m from the sale.
A further €12.48m is approximately £10.6m, so the total is £37.2m.
Many fans probably would have liked to have acquired this player, but considering his very unique circumstances, the club has come out of this very well financially.
