De Zerbi Applauds Greenwood's Impact in Marseille
De Zerbi Celebrates Greenwood's Debut Goals
Roberto De Zerbi has praised Mason Greenwood after the forward marked his Marseille debut with two goals in a 5-1 victory against Brest. The 22-year-old, who spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Getafe, has now transferred to Marseille in a deal worth up to €31.6 million (£26.6m).
Greenwood's Stellar Start at Marseille
“He is a player of an extraordinary level,” De Zerbi said after the match. “I am happy that he scored, as that way he will be less of a target for controversy.” The forward opened the scoring after three minutes, collecting Amine Harit’s pass and racing into the box to find the bottom left corner. Greenwood added his second and Marseille's third from the penalty spot, contributing to a dominant victory.
- Greenwood signed a five-year contract with Marseille.
- His contract will keep him at the club until 2029.
- Greenwood had not played for Manchester United since January 2022.
After the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service discontinued the case against him, it was determined that Greenwood would continue his career in France, away from Old Trafford. Greenwood denied all allegations against him.
