Controversy Surrounding Greenwood’s Transfer

Prior to the Manchester academy graduate being signed for £27 million, Marseille’s Mayor Benoit Payan used strong language speaking to RMC Sport and described the forward’s behaviour as terrible and unprintable as reported by Sportsbuddy.

He said “This man ought not to be allowed to brutalize his wife in this fashion, and I am convinced that he has no business being in this team. The values of the city and the values ​​of Olympique de Marseille are far from that.”

Injury Concerns and Speculations

The former Manchester United striker, who has just moved to Marseille for €31. 6m, is out of the team because of a muscle lesion.

This injury has made it impossible for the former Getafe man to return to playing in English terrains as expected.

Marseille was very careful not to complicate the injury of their new attacker again.

However, although OM has stated that injury is the cause for Greenwood’s absence, La Provence claims that this might also be due to the complications regarding his return to England.
