Greenwood’s Four-Goal Haul Draws Barcelona Scouts as Reports Link Man United to €100m Bid

United’s 50% sell-on clause means any move now carries significant financial trade-offs.

Overview

  • Mason Greenwood scored four in Marseille’s 6-2 win over Le Havre, becoming their first player since 1991 to net four in a league game and lifting his season totals to seven goals and four assists in 10 matches.
  • Barcelona scouts attended the match to monitor Greenwood as the club evaluates forward options beyond Marcus Rashford’s season-long loan.
  • Spanish outlet Fichajes, echoed by UK reports, claims Manchester United are preparing a bid near €100m (£87m) to re-sign Greenwood next summer, with no formal confirmation from the clubs.
  • Manchester United retained a 50% sell-on clause in Greenwood’s 2024 sale to Marseille, and UK analyses outline differing outcomes depending on a Marseille sale versus a direct United purchase.
  • Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi praised Greenwood’s finishing and work ethic but said he must improve his off-the-ball contribution to reach an elite level.
