Mason Greenwood is from Marseille. The day after the official announcement of the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, its top scorer last season, the Marseille club welcomed its new striker, who will wear the number 10 this season, without however specifying the duration of his contract.
The English striker, trained at Manchester United, began his career with the Red Devils in the Champions League in 2019, becoming the youngest player in history to wear the red shirt in this competition.
Accusations of rape and assault on his partner
He was suspended by the Premier League in 2022 following accusations of rape and assault on his partner, charges which have since been dropped.
Before the transfer was made official, the left-wing mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, reacted to this announced arrival by declaring on RMC: “I don’t want my club to be covered in the shame of someone who beats his wife.”
Back on the pitch in 2023, Mason Greenwood was immediately loaned by his training club to the Spanish team Getafe with whom he finished the 2023-2024 year with 10 goals and 6 assists, being voted best player of the season by the club’s supporters.
