OM is in England to face Sunderland this Saturday in a friendly (4 p.m.). A trip in which Mason Greenwood did not take part. The real reason is questionable.
Bought by Olympique de Marseille from Manchester United, Mason Greenwood arrived on the Canebière this summer. A transfer that caused both talk and division on the Marseille club side, particularly because the player had been accused of domestic violence a few years ago, without being tried since the charges against him had been dropped. A case that has not been forgotten in England, and it came back into the news this Saturday.
In the midst of preparations for the 2024-2025 season, OM has chosen to face Sunderland and travels today across the Channel. But Roberto De Zerbi will have to do without Mason Greenwood, who remained in France due to injury. At least officially. Because according to Provence who explained in his columns that the attacker would suffer from muscular discomfort, the real reason could be found elsewhere.
Maximum protection
The southern media outlet mentioned the possibility of a diplomatic excuse to prevent Mason Greenwood from returning to English soil, as he could have been targeted by Sunderland supporters. As a reminder, Manchester United had sidelined their player at the time of the affair, loaning him a few months later to the Spanish team Getafe. The Mancunian management wanted to reintegrate him into the United squad, but a shield was immediately raised among the supporters.
From then on, the Red Devils had little choice left and therefore definitively separated from their former nugget. Now in Marseille, Mason Greenwood is protected as much as possible by his new management. Whether it be on the physical aspect or otherwise.
