Mason Greenwood is said to spit in Amadou Onana to generate his furious fight with Tyrone Mings.
Marseille Vooruit Greenwood had shred his shirt by Aston Villa Defender Mings during a bust in a pre-season collision in France on Saturday evening.
And Sunsport understands that disgusting villa players raged because Greenwood is claimed to spit on their £ 50 million club record from Onana.
Belgium -star Onana returned and suddenly held his own face when he turned to the French referee Benoit Millot after Greenwood seemed to spit on him.
The 87th-minute Flashpunt started when Greenwood Onana cut on the floor, threw and then pushed the Villa midfielder, who bounced off the grass to confront him.
England International Mings entered just like a grinning Greenwood, 23, seemed to commit the mean act.
The expression of Greenwood changed rapidly when 6ft 5 in Mings grabbed his collar and waved him around, with Onana also struggling when the former player of the Manchester United player was torn in a melee.
Greenwood was booked, together with Mings and Onana and then immediately replaced by Marseille Roberto de Zerbi.
It is unlikely that Greenwood will have to deal with action unless the incident was included in the Ref Millot report to the French FA.
UEFA will not participate because they do not have jurisdiction about the 'friendly'.
Villa is not going to urge to take further action. Unai Emery is also squared to the Zerbi during the Powderkeg collision for the season.
Villa Boss Emery saw Red when Marseille Old Boy Boubacar Kamara was hunted by Neal Maupay in injury time.
The Zerbi, responsible for Brighton from 2022 to 2024, said: “Unai complained about my players and I didn't like that. It's up to me to talk to them.
“The competition was heated, but that is what people came to see. They could have went to the beach, but they came to the Stade Velodrome.”
Marseille won 3-1 as a former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice after he came as a second half replacement.
Greenwood scored the opening goal and went on another for Aubameyang, where Villa skipper John McGinn was leveled to bring it 1-1 during the break.
