Despite the two players leaving Old Trafford in the past, United chiefs moved to secure their assets for the future by including clauses as part of their sales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Now, the pair are attracting interest at their respective clubs. The Englishman is the subject of speculation over a Marseille departure, while Garnacho&#8217;s future at Stamford Bridge looks unclear just 12 months after making the shock move to Chelsea. According to reports, namely from Il Messaggero, Greenwood and Garnacho are two players wanted by Serie A side AS Roma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Gian Piero Gasperini is a year into his tenure at the Stadio Olimpico and is said to want two starters behind Donyell Malen. Garnacho and Greenwood are both said to be on the list of targets.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"Factbox_factbox-container__hSMOa\" id=\"factbox\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Entering Factbox content\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"34068266\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"factbox\" data-testid=\"factbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 615px, (max-width: 810px) 810px, 1168px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png\" srcset=\"&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n615\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 615w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n810\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 810w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/article34068146.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_Screenshot-2026-06-04-at-163123.png 1168w&#10;    \"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs Factbox_heading-three__NXU52 __className_a26367\">Get YOUR Man United Newsletter<\/h3>\n<div class=\"Factbox_content__xdMV8\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Get the best United news, updates and analysis straight to your Inbox courtesy of the Manchester Evening News!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">To get it, it&#8217;s a simple one-two punch.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"NumberedList_numbered-list__oytz_\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"ordered-list\">\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Head <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">THIS WAY<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"LiItem_li-item__IF4xI\">Enter your email and hit <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Subscribe.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">As part of Greenwood&#8217;s move to Marseille, a significant sell-on was included in the deal, with reports suggesting that United could earn 40% to 50% of the transfer fee back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Reports have suggested that Roma are prepared to table a bid around \u00a338.5million for Greenwood but the Ligue 1 side are rumoured to be hoping to hold out for \u20ac55million (\u00a347m).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The potential suitor would need to convince Greenwood to leave the south of France.
