Manchester United’s chase for a Champions League spot continues to dominate headlines, but it’s the club’s former No.11 making waves abroad who may yet shape English football’s summer window.
As Erik ten Hag’s successor Ruben Amorim pushes for silverware, transfer activity is already in motion behind the scenes.
United’s rebuild remains under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s control, with player sales and outgoings set to play a major role in upcoming plans.

Meanwhile, back in Ligue 1, a familiar name continues to top the performance charts — but his future in France looks far from certain.
Just 50 nautical miles will separate Mason Greenwood from England this weekend, as Marseille travel to Le Havre with Champions League qualification in sight.
It’s been a statistically impressive campaign for Mason Greenwood, now ranked fifth among Europe’s most effective players according to Opta — just behind Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
A 19th league goal would match Didier Drogba’s debut-season tally at Marseille, underlining Greenwood’s resurgence on the pitch.
But beneath the numbers, his time in France has been far from perfect.
Criticism over his work rate led to fan banners and tense moments with supporters, while head coach Roberto De Zerbi has adopted a tough-love approach.
An unusual squad retreat in Rome — including a stay at the Hilton Cavalieri and a visit to the Vatican — helped stabilise form, but whispers persist that Greenwood is unsettled.
Sources close to the club believe a transfer within the next two windows is “possible,” with Saudi clubs interested, although space is currently tight.
La Liga and Serie A remain options, but a growing number of Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation — with some in the north of England reportedly weighing up an approach, as per The Telegraph.
Manchester United included a 50% sell-on clause in Mason Greenwood’s transfer to Marseille.
This means United will receive half of the profit Marseille makes from any future sale of Greenwood.

Greenwood, now a father of two, appears increasingly focused on family, making a return to his home country more plausible.
While the FA confirmed in March that Greenwood has switched allegiance to Jamaica, he remains one of the most talked-about English-born forwards on the continent.
Club president Pablo Longoria insists there are no regrets over signing Greenwood for £26.6m, but any club wanting to prise him away this summer will need to meet a significantly higher valuation.
Greenwood himself remains tight-lipped, telling reporters after last weekend’s draw with Lille: “I’m not really bothered about [individual awards].
“The only thing that bothers me at the moment is getting Marseille to the Champions League.”
Whether that campaign will include him next season is the question now gripping fans both in France and England.
