OM fans want more from Greenwood through banner and he responds by scoring TWICE

Marseille fans expressed their frustrations opposite Mason Greenwood prior to their 5-1 thrashing from Montpellier on Saturday.

The former Star of Manchester United has recently been the subject of various damn reports that have asked questions about his attitude.

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.

Before Saturday's game, a banner was evoked in the North Bend of the Orange Velodrome, in which Marseille's home fans evoked for more difficulty from Greenwood.

The Banner – also aimed at Wing Back Luis Henrqiue – Read: “Greenwood, Henrique, get moving !!!”

Greenwood responded in the best possible way to the anti -aircraft weather – by scoring an early opener for Marseille when he turned a penalty to eight minutes.

The 23-year-old then scored his second in the 67th minute and took his count in Ligue 1 to 18 goals in the season. Only PSG's Ousmane Dembele has succeeded in more (21).

With the victory, Marseille Monaco brought in second place and kept the momentum in their attempt to qualify for the Champions League next season.

However, Ligue 1 has long been packed, with PSG claiming the title back in Matchweek 28, because they are now trying to go invincible this season with five more games to go.

Last month, the Zerbi tackled the matter of the work percentage of Greenwood 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 Greats.

“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. '

Greenwood left United last summer after he was arrested in January 2022 before being accused of attempted rape, abuse and control and compulsive 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.

His move to France led to a return of Livid Marseille fans, who launched a #greenwoodnotwelcy campaign when he was initially connected to the club.

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