They also sold Scott McTominay to Napoli for just €30m.

Both players have been revelations in their new leagues.

McTominay Serie A MVP?

McTominay has been arguably the MVP of Serie A, leading Napoli to the brink of a famous Scudetto.

The Scotland star has scored 11 goals (all from open play) and delivered six assists in 32 Serie A games. He has 12 goals in all competitions.

His performances have led Napoli to lead the Scudetto race by one point with two games remaining. If Napoli win the Scudetto, he is being tipped to be named Serie A Footballer of the Year.

As for Greenwood, he finished the Ligue 1 season as the joint top-scorer in the division.

With 21 goals in 34 league games, Greenwood managed the same number of goals as PSG star Ousmane Dembele.

Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 behind PSG to return to the Champions League.

His value has increased massively after an excellent season at Marseille and he is now being linked to major clubs.

Man Utd will be rueing the decision to sell the two players given their struggles this season.

The Red Devils are languishing in 17th position, just one place above the relegation zone in what has been their worst season in Premier League history.

Only victory in the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday can salvage what has been a disastrous campaign.
