Once again decisive, Mason Greenwood scored his 11th goal withABOUT in Ligue 1 this season during the meeting against Stade Rennais. A performance which places him alongside a legend of the Marseille club, Sonny Anderson.
OM: Mason Greenwood joins Sonny Anderson in the Marseille pantheon
The English striker confirms his status as a revelation of the season in Ligue 1. Arriving this summer from Manchester United, Mason Greenwood quickly found his feet on the shores of the Mediterranean. His 11 goals in 17 games put him at the top of the scoring charts, alongside Jonathan David. But that’s not all.
By equaling Sonny Anderson’s goals record in his first 17 appearances for Marseille, Greenwood enters a historic dimension. The former Brazilian striker, who arrived at OM in 1994, made an impression with his efficiency in front of goal. His performances had also caught the eye of AS Monaco recruiters, who then recruited him.
This statistic underlines Greenwood’s extraordinary start to the season. The Englishman managed to establish himself very quickly in the starting lineup of Olympique de Marseille and became one of the centerpieces of the team. His adaptation has been dazzling, and his technical and physical qualities impress observers.
It is still too early to compare the two players in detail, but Mason Greenwood’s debut is reminiscent of Sonny Anderson. The two attackers made their mark upon their arrival in Marseille and became references in the history of the club.
