Mason Greenwood – Crazy Head has Arrived in Crazy Town!

Mason Greenwood will try to revive his career in the craziest French city. The guy who found himself at the center of the scandal due to rape allegations has left Manchester United and we will see him in Marseille from next season.

Mason Greenwood – A Man to Whom Even Politics Cannot Do Anything

Because of everything that happened to him in the past, the French authorities rebelled against Greenwood, but they still failed to stop his transfer. Manchester United earned 26,000,000 euros from his sale and has a large percentage of the future sale of the still young player who is only 22 years old. Greenwood was supposed to be the player on which United would build the future and the England national team should have benefited from him.

It all came crashing down after Greenwood faced several accusations from his then-girlfriend Harriet Robson. Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, physical assault, controlling and coercive behavior and after his now former club found out what Greenwood was up against, he was immediately suspended. In the meantime, a shocking twist happened because Greewood was acquitted of all charges and he reconciled with his girlfriend and even had a child with her.

It’s clearly had a positive effect on him as Greenwood returned to the pitch and recorded eight goals and six assists for Getafe in La Liga last season. His good games were recognized by Marseille, so next season we will see Greenwood in a city that fully suits his character. There was interest in this guy in Rome, Naples, Lyon, but he still chose Marseille. If Greenwood explodes in Marseille, both his new club and his old club will benefit from it, which should earn 40 to 50 percent from the next transfer.

Given that this guy is a real ticking time bomb it won’t surprise anyone if that explosion happens but it also wouldn’t be a surprise if Greenwood doesn’t have a good time in Marseille. The fans of his new club are among the most ardent in France and they could go after him if he repays them on the pitch in the right way.

The English player will have to step up because Marseille will miss the goals that Aubameyang gave them last season, who left for Saudi Arabia. The situation in France regarding the fight for the title in Ligue 1 is quite clear because PSG is again the main favorite for first place, but two namesakes from Marseille and Lyon are expected to be promoted. In addition to Greenwood, Marseille brought in several other talented players, and Roberto de Zerbi, a man who worked brilliantly in Brighton, will work with them next season.

The Italian expert is one of the key reasons why the English player came to the team that was last champion of France in 2010. The fans of this team are even more hurt by the fact that their biggest rival, PSG, has been dominating for years and Marseille was only in eighth place last season. If he did not have a turbulent past, we would almost certainly have seen Greenwood at the recently concluded UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, but it is not excluded that the new coach will pay attention to him if he plays well in Marseille.

The very fact that he returned to the field after everything that happened to him speaks volumes about his character and very soon we could see him again in the national team for which he recorded one appearance. Now he can fully focus on football and initial impulses indicate that Greenwood and Marseille could be an ideal combination.

He told La Provence: “Obviously, I am aware of this debate and I understand the question. I do not wish to enter into any controversy. I already had the opportunity to express myself on this subject last year, it is now behind us. With my partner, we rebuilt ourselves together, as a couple, we have just spent a year in Madrid. We have been together since we were 15, 16 years old, today we have a beautiful little girl who has just celebrated her first birthday. I am now looking towards the future and I am only focused on Olympique de Marseille and on our new life, together, in Marseille.”

Throughout history, Marseille has been the champion of France nine times, but only once in the past two and a half decades. This team also has one European championship title, which it won in 1993, but just one year later, the team was relegated to the second league due to match-fixing in which the controversial president Bernard Tapie was involved. After that, the club began to stumble, which has not recovered to this day.
