Despite an excellent start to the season in terms of statistics, Mason Greenwood has been in a little more difficulty in recent matches and his defensive involvement is extremely annoying to his coach at OM.
This is one of the most talked about transfers this summer. Looking for an offensive player capable of making a difference, Olympique de Marseille has set its sights on Mason Greenwood, the young Manchester United player who has been blacklisted by his club since the start of his legal troubles ago several years. Loaned by Getafe, he permanently joined OM for around 30 million euros during the summer transfer window. The England international's debut (1 selection) has been successful as he has already scored eight goals and provided two assists in eleven Ligue 1 matches with his new team. On the other hand, his attitude begins to seriously annoy his coach Roberto De Zerbi who reproaches him for one aspect of his game in particular.
De Zerbi already annoyed by Greenwood
Second best scorer in the French championship behind Bradley Barcola with 8 goals compared to 10 for the PSG striker, the 23-year-old however does not meet all the requirements requested by the Italian coach, who criticizes him for his defensive involvement on the pitch since the start of the season according to information from Provence. Moreover, the former Brighton coach took action during the Classic against Paris Saint-Germain at the end of October. Little in sight in a difficult first act for OM, Mason Greenwood was replaced by De Zerbi at half-time, a sign that the latter expects even more from his player in the defensive folds.
The main interested party now knows what to expect and will try to improve in this sector during Marseille's next outings in Ligue 1. Otherwise, the player trained at Manchester United will surely taste the bench more regularly, which was not not in his plans when he signed for Olympique de Marseille.
