Mason Greenwood was knocked to the floor during an angry bust-up just 13 minutes into Marseille’s Ligue 1 clash with Lille on Sunday. The former Manchester United<\/a> star picked up the ball in his own half but was taken out by Calvin Verdonk which saw a yellow card shown.<\/p>\n

Greenwood did not take too kindly to the foul and quickly got up to confront Lille’s left-back, but he was body checked to the floor by Hakon Haraldsson, who rushed to the scene which sparked a mass brawl between more players. Both the latter and Greenwood were booked for their parts in the fracas.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was only on the pitch for a few more minutes after that as he was substituted due to an injury with Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri replacing him. He went on to open the scoring for Marseille with close-range finish just before half-time.<\/p>\n

However, two goals in the second half from Thomas Meunier and late substitute Olivier Giroud saw Lille depart Stade Velodrome with all three points. Despite the defeat to their Champions League<\/a> qualification rivals, it has been a impressive season for Marseille thus far as they sit third in the table.<\/p>\n

Greenwood has been key to their strong form as he has managed 25 goals in all competitions with eight assists also arriving over that period. Though he has not played for United in over four years, there remains interest in how he is performing and if transfer suitors take note of his displays.<\/p>\n

That is because United included a sell-on clause<\/a> when he completed a \u00a326.6million move to Marseille which entitles them to receive up to 50 per cent of the profits coming from a potential sale.<\/p>\n

Serie A side Juventus are believed to be interested in signing Greenwood this summer <\/a>with \u00a360million mooted as the potential transfer fee required to sign him.<\/p>\n

United could therefore take in a maximum of \u00a330million from such a move, with just under half that coming as profit, though Marseille are likely to be keen for more given the clauses surrounding his future.<\/p>\n

Previous loan club Getafe will also be keeping tabs on Greenwood as it is believed the Spanish club negotiated around 20 per cent of United’s potential windfall.<\/p>\n

Marseille securing Champions League football for next season could have bearings on Greenwood’s future with the added funds perhaps making him want to stay.<\/p>\n

Now led by Habib Beye, following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, Marseille occupy the final guaranteed Champions League qualification spot. They sit one point ahead of fourth-placed Lyon and now just two in front of Lille.<\/p>\n
