Positive reinforcement, connecting with his family and emotional support: Marseille’s strategy to get the best out of Mason Greenwood as ex-Man Utd forward shines in France

Ligue 1

Lens

Marseille

<p>Greenwood has eight goals and an assist to his name in just 11 Ligue 1 appearances since joining the French side amid controversial circumstances due to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-mason-greenwood-cleared-all-charges-attempted-rape-assault-case/blt667fec4a13dfc50d" target="_blank">sexual assault charges that were discontinued</a> in February 2023.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Englishman's performances over his four months in France come amid Marseille's careful handling of him. <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/ligue-1/mason-greenwood-les-coulisses-de-son-integration-a-l-om_AV-202411201074.html" target="_blank"><em>RMC Sport</em></a> reports that the club's coaches have been particularly encouraging of the 23-year-old, often giving a blind eye to him straying offside before scoring in training and praising his efforts as much as possible. </p><p>The Ligue 1 side have also kept close ties with the player's family to help his adaptation to life in France, making a strong connection with his father, who picks Greenwood up from training and keeps the club aware of his son's feelings.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Marseille have also been cautious about the reaction Greenwood receives from opposition fans during away games, ensuring he is properly surrounded and supported, while they have even gone so far as to reaching out to other clubs in advance to discuss the issue.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Marseille are third in the French top-flight, trailing leaders Paris Saint-Germain by nine points. They will hope to prevent that gap from widening when they face Lens on Saturday.</p>
