Man Utd set for major cash boost as two high-profile players set to seal moves

Manchester United are on the verge of a major summer clear-out, with Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood two high-profile exits that could deliver a significant financial boost to the club as they rebuild under Ruben Amorim.

Barcelona are actively pursuing a double swoop for Rashford and Greenwood, with both players now top targets for the La Liga giants.

Rashford, who has rediscovered his form on loan at Aston Villa—scoring four goals and providing six assists in just ten starts—has attracted interest from multiple clubs.

While Villa have a £40 million buy option in their loan agreement, there is growing belief that Rashford is now prioritising a “dream” move to Barcelona, who value his versatility and ability to play both centrally and on the left.

Villa’s ability to complete a permanent transfer may be hampered by Rashford’s high wages and their own financial constraints, leaving the door open for Barca to step in, reports The Mirror.

Greenwood, meanwhile, has enjoyed a prolific season at Marseille, netting 20 goals and registering five assists. United sold him to the French club last summer for around £26 million, but crucially inserted a 50% sell-on clause.

Marseille are now seeking at least £59 million (€70 million) for Greenwood, and with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both interested, United could pocket around £16 million from any future sale.

Greenwood’s resurgence has also attracted interest from Premier League clubs, but a move to Spain appears most likely at this stage.

United’s new owners, INEOS, are focusing on selling academy graduates like Rashford and Greenwood, as these deals represent pure profit and will help fund a much-needed squad overhaul.

The club is aiming to raise significant funds from these sales, with at least £40 million expected from Rashford and a substantial windfall from Greenwood’s next move23.

As Barcelona prepare their double bid, United are poised to benefit financially from the departures of two homegrown talents, helping to pave the way for a new era at Old Trafford
