WHAT HAPPENED?
Greenwood moved to Marseille in the summer of 2024 from Manchester United and hit the ground running as he settled quickly in Ligue 1. However, the one-cap England international's form has slowly faded away as attitude issues have cropped up, with a reported feud with boss Roberto de Zerbi seeing him benched against RC Lens and then PSG before the international break.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It has now been reported by French publication La Provence that Greenwood's Marseille team-mates are frustrated by his lack of hard work, with a source being quoted as saying: "His team-mates are tired of waiting for the stroke of genius. They’re making the effort, and they need to see him put on his overalls.”

Despite his lack of form lately, Greenwood's early-season showings have kept him firmly in second place in the race for the Ligue 1 Golden Boot behind Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele. The former Manchester United star is currently being tailed by Jonathan David, Bradley Barcola and Arnaud Kalimuendo for second place.
