Manchester United have a buy-back option on Mason Greenwood, but the club are unlikely to ever trigger that clause, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Greenwood completed his permanent move from Manchester United to Marseille last week.
The French giants have agreed to pay an initial fee of €23.6m up front with a further €8m in add-ons.
Manchester United should bank half the add-ons if he stays at the Stade Velodrome for three years.
It has been claimed that Manchester United also inserted a buy-back clause in the agreement to sell the forward to Marseille.
However, the Premier League giants are unlikely to ever trigger that clause to take him back to Old Trafford.
The chances of Greenwood ever returning to Old Trafford are slim given the controversy surrounding him in England.
Manchester United are more interested in the 50 per cent sell-on clause as Marseille are not expected to be the forward’s final destination.
There is an expectation that the 22-year-old will realise his full potential and move to a bigger stage later in his career.
