The arrival of Mason Greenwood at OM caused a lot of talk last summer. Despite everything, the Englishman immediately integrated himself into the Marseille collective. Former player of the club, Joey Barton gave his thoughts on the winger and believes that he will have a good career.
He is one of the star recruits of the summer for Olympique de Marseille. Mason Greenwood left Manchester United to join La Canebière for around 30 million euros. The 23-year-old English winger got into legal trouble but was quickly adopted by supporters. Under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, the Englishman already has eight goals and two assists in twelve Championship matches. If the Italian coach has already reframed it in relation to his defensive investment, Greenwood is comfortable in the OM collective. Many observers of the Marseille team have praised him, and this is also the case for a former member of the house. In the Téléfoot show, Joey Barton praised the qualities of Mason Greenwood and believes that he can have a great career.

The former Newcastle, QPR and Manchester City player, the former Three Lions midfielder (1 selection in 2007) was very complimentary towards the Marseille offensive player: “He is one of the most talented players in Europe. If he continues like this, eventually he could come back to England one day, maybe even play for Real Madrid or Barcelona one day. I really believe in him. For me, he is of the same caliber as Haaland or Mbappé. he said for the Sunday show broadcast on TF1. After a great start, Greenwood struggled a little more for several weeks but regained all his sensations. If OM want to return to the Champions League next year, their jewel will need to be at a constant level throughout the season. The match against a direct competitor, AS Monaco, is perhaps the match Greenwood needs to shine.
