OM: Greenwood, a new Drogba with this crazy record

Mason Greenwood opened the scoring against AS Saint-Etienne with a superb goal. The English striker has been on a high footing since joining OM.

While his former club, Manchester United, was humiliated at Old Trafford by Bournemouth, Mason Greenwood gave pleasure to the Marseille supporters. Because it was with a magical gesture that the OM scorer opened the scoring against Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France, launching the Marseille festival at Geoffroy-Guichard. Since joining Olympique de Marseille during the 2024 summer transfer window, the 23-year-old English striker has contributed significantly to the performance of Roberto De Zerbi's team. And a statistic confirms this undeniably.

Indeed, by scoring a goal against ASSE, Mason Greenwood reached the mark of 11 goals scored in sixteen matches played with Olympique de Marseille. And even if in recent seasons, OM had recruited Alexis Sanchez or even Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mason Greenwood is the first striker to do so well since a certain Didier Drogba in 2003. Enough to prove that Pablo Longoria was not mistaken in bringing in the English striker, if we obviously except all the moral questions which surrounded the recruitment of the English player.
