Tottenham is currently assessing its interest in signing Mason Greenwood, the former Manchester United star. Manchester United is preparing for a significant summer transfer window, focusing on midfield reinforcements and financial stability.
Mason Greenwood: Tottenhamâs stance on pursuit of ex-United star
Manchester United are preparing for a vital summer, during which they are expected to invest heavily in the squad. A new midfielder remains at the top of the Red Devilsâ priority list, with INEOS determined to sign a proper replacement for the outgoing Casemiro.
Having invested over ÂŁ200 million in four players last summer, the English giants may need to spend a similar amount once again this year. They could be tempted to sign more than one midfielder, especially with Manuel Ugarteâs future also uncertain.
United, as such, have to raise funds to ensure their finances are in order to facilitate the summerâs activity. Securing qualification for next seasonâs Champions League could help bring in around ÂŁ70 million, while recent reports have suggested that INEOS are hoping to raise around ÂŁ100 million from player sales as well.
Another source of funds could be sell-on clauses inserted in the contracts of former players. One former academy star whose future could impact the Red Devilsâ summer budget is Mason Greenwood.
Tottenham is evaluating its stance on pursuing Mason Greenwood, but specific details on their interest are not yet confirmed.

Greenwood was once considered the future of Unitedâs attack. A product of the clubâs fabled academy, the Englishman caught the imagination of fans with his exquisite finishing, two-footedness, and pace.
He appeared destined for Old Trafford stardom before off-field issues derailed his career. After a loan spell with Getafe in LaLiga, Greenwood moved to Marseille permanently in the summer of 2024 and has already made a name for himself in France.
This season, the 24 year old has registered 25 goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions for the Ligue 1 club.

Greenwoodâs form has ignited talk of a move away from the Stade Velodrome this summer amid rumours that he remains unsettled at the club. With former Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi taking charge at Tottenham Hotspur in March this year, there have also been talks of the Englishmanâs possible return to the Premier League. An update on the matter has now emerged.
According to TEAMtalk, Greenwood is unlikely to return to the Premier League this summer. The report states: âMason Greenwood is heading towards a Marseille exit this summer following a breakdown in his relationship with the club, TEAMtalk understands, but he is unlikely to be heading back to the Premier League.â
âSources have confirmed to us that tensions have developed internally and Greenwoodâs relationship with Marseille boss Habib Beye has deteriorated significantly, whilst some have questioned his commitment in training and games. Sources have told us that the growing friction has now placed Greenwood on course to leave Marseille during the upcoming transfer window.â
The report insists that a move to Spurs is unlikely, adding: âThere had been some speculation surrounding a possible reunion with former Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is now in charge at Tottenham Hotspur. However, we understand Spurs are not currently considering a move for Greenwood.â
United reportedly have a 50% sell-on clause in Greenwoodâs deal, so his possible departure this summer could be of interest to INEOS. The report confirms that Juventus and Atletico Madrid have been monitoring the player all season and are considering a move this summer.
United significantly improved their attack last summer, but could be tempted to add another No. 9 to their squad this summer. Greenwoodâs possible departure this year could help the Red Devils achieve that.
