Marseille chief denies ex-Spurs star refused to play with Greenwood

Marseille Sports Director Sports Director Medhi Benatia has furiously claimed that two senior players have refused to play with Mason Greenwood.

Although he is the top scorer of the club, the former Star of Manchester United has been the subject of various damn recent reports that have asked questions about his attitude.

The most recent of these claims that senior Marseille players, former Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and ex-paris Saint-Germain star Adrien Rabiot have refused to play alongside the attacker.

Benatia strongly refuted the claims and claimed sensational that some within the club 'try to sow Discord'.

The sensational development comes after Greenwood received a 1/10 from the French Outlet La Provence for his performance in Marseille's 3-0 defeat by Monaco – their fifth in the last seven games.

“As gifted as he can be – when he wants to be, and that is getting rarer,” the destructive assessment of his display began. “The former man UTD player is annoyed by his lack of seriousness.”

Benatia smelled in rumors that Hojbjerg – in his first season with the club after leaving North – went to his office and lobbyed for the removal of Greenwood and Luis Henrique van Marseille's Squad.

“Can you imagine?” Benatia told the outlet. “He didn't come to see me. And what is more, do you think I need a player to tell me that?

'Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is one of the most professional in the dressing room, a man who wants to unite alone and participate, such as Rabiot.

'Today Adri dies in, he only wants one thing: to reach the Champions League. These two are really two examples, and at no time they have come to reject me Luis Henrique or Greenwood. The people who say that don't want the best for. '

Greenwood recently recovered in the starting line-up after he was portrayed by manager Roberto de Zerbi, in which reports in France suggested that the former boss of Brighton was not satisfied with his work percentage.

The Italian tackled the problem last month and claimed that the attacker is not used to the intense workload he had this season. Earlier this month, the Zerbi went one step further and claimed that Greenwood 'has the qualities' to join the Pantheon of Marseille -Groten.

“Greenwood is a natural talent,” he said. “All honor goes to his mother and father. And I am here to help him become more complete. When he needs a hug, a word of support, I would like to give it. And if I have to push him to give more, I have to do that because that is my job. '

“I would like to help him remember, in this stadium and by these supporters, as one of the greatest players who played here in the Velodrome,” he added.

'There have been so many great players here, but I think Greenwood has the qualities to be remembered in this way. And I try to help him make progress. '

However, it seems that the public praise has done little to rest a gap of a gap in the dressing room and the sad form of Marseille has even threatened the position of the zerbi in the club.

Greenwood left Manchester United under a cloud last summer after he was arrested in January 2022 before being accused of attempted rape, abuse and controlling and compelling behavior.

The charges against Greenwood were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service after the 'withdrawal of important witnesses and new material that comes to light'. Greenwood has always denied the allegations.

Greenwood housed his career on loan at the Spanish outfit Getafe last season, where he took 10 goals and six assists.

Since then he has formally applied for his international faith of England, for whom he has made one outing, to Jamaica from Steve McClaren.
