Mason Greenwood could cause Man United to lose millions if they don't sell him as soon as possible

Manchester United announced their final decision regarding Mason Greenwood. According to the statement, the club and the player have reached a mutual agreement for Greenwood to no longer be part of Manchester United. This brings an end to a dilemma that has lasted for over a year.

In addition, thousands of fans shared their opinions on how United handled the situation. For example, club legend Gary Neville commented via Sky Sports that the club didn't handle the situation with “sufficient leadership”. However, the criticisms don't compare to the problems that could arise for the Erik ten Hag-led club.

According to The Sun, United could potentially lose millions if they don't sell the player within nine days, which is when the transfer window closes. Moreover, Greenwood still has a contract with Old Trafford until the year of 2025.

In case United fails to sell the player by that time, could lead to significant financial losses for the club.

Why could United lose millions?

With Greenwood's ongoing contract, the club would be responsible for continuing to pay his salary until the contract's expiration. However, the only ways to terminate the contract earlier are either by selling the player or by voluntarily terminating the contract, which would involve a substantial amount of money for a single player. Currently, nothing has been confirmed yet.
