- Greenwood rounded new Villa goalkeeper to score
- Seven goals in pre-season for Marseille
- Former Man Utd man had flare-up with Mings
Greenwood rounded new Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot to finish into an empty net for an early opening goal in a 3-1 win for Marseille, his seventh goal in pre-season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would go on to score twice for his new club to secure victory.
Tyrone Mings made a defensive error to allow Greenwood to go through and score in a fiery encounter for the pair. They would clash again in the second half, as Mings got a firm grip of Greenwood’s shirt after the 23-year-old took out Amadou Onana. One can only imagine what Mings said to the former Man 團結的 forward during the altercation.
Following an impressive debut campaign in 法甲聯賽 where he struck 21 league goals for Marseille, Greenwood will be confident of continuing that form in the new season and may feel he still has a point to prove. The club’s documentary of the 2024-25 season will continue to premiere with further episodes on their official YouTube channel, with behind-the-scenes footage shown of both Greenwood and Roberto De Zerbi’s first season at the club.
