Manchester United has reportedly earned a total of €12.48 million from Mason Greenwood’s recent transfer from Marseille to Fenerbahce. The former Red Devils forward impressed during his time in Ligue 1, prompting Fenerbahce to pay a substantial €39 million for him.

Due to a sell-on clause included in his contract, Manchester United receives a significant fee from this transfer, although part of it will go to Getafe, another of his former clubs, as noted by journalist Ben Jacobs.

Key details of the transfer include:

• Fenerbahce confirmed Greenwood's signing on a four-year contract.
• The total fee is €39 million, payable in three equal installments over three years.
• Manchester United is set to receive €15.6 million from the full fee, but €3.12 million will be allocated to Getafe, leaving MUFC with €12.48 million.

Greenwood, once viewed as a promising talent emerging from United’s academy, faced serious allegations that led to his suspension and eventual departure from the club. Although the charges were dropped, it seems unlikely he will return to the Premier League.

Overall, Manchester United has profited significantly from selling an academy player who came through their ranks without any initial cost. The club initially banked £26.6 million from his sale to Marseille, and with the additional €12.48 million, the total financial gain reaches approximately £37.2 million. While many fans might have preferred to keep the player, the club has navigated a challenging situation to achieve a solid financial outcome.
