Revealed: Marseille’s response to Mason Greenwood goals drying up – with ex-Man Utd forward enduring four-game barren run after flying start

<p>The 23-year-old forward enjoyed a dream start to his spell in Ligue 1, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/five-goal-mason-greenwood-100-per-cent-summer-signings-team-man-utd-marseille-27m-transfer/blt5078dcac00d8cb4c" target="_blank">finding the target on five occasions through his opening three outings</a> of the 2024-25 campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-mason-greenwood-groove-five-goal-marseille-star-top-corner-international-break-training-session/blt11b2b3b641469c7b" target="_blank">That earned him plenty of plaudits and the love of the passionate fanbase in Marseille</a>, with the club <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mason-greenwood-marseille-questionable-new-hero-ex-man-utd-outcast-welcomed-open-arms/bltdb8e8b2829a3a245" target="_blank">welcoming a new hero</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Greenwood has, however, now gone four games without finding the back of the net. His last efforts came when bagging a brace against Toulouse at the end of August. Another international break has now been reached, with Marseille dropping points in their last two fixtures.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Roberto De Zerbi has said of seeing his side lose their spark: “Some of our decisive players are not in shape, like Mason Greenwood.” The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-jamaica-mason-greenwood-international-future-update-ex-man-utd-forward-marseille-27m-transfer/bltd7e7c16ddc4b4c59" target="_blank">one-cap England international</a> has failed to score or provide an assist in four games, having previously been billed as “too good” for the French top flight – as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/future-barcelona-bayern-munich-transfer-mason-greenwood-european-superpowers-scouting-ex-man-utd-forward-marseille/blt0d1c710ba778f758" target="_blank">generated talk of interest from La Liga giants Barcelona</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Apres-des-debuts-impressionnants-mason-greenwood-marque-le-pas-et-l-om-avec-lui/1512155 " target="_blank"><em>L’Equipe</em></a>, Marseille remain unfazed by the dip in form for Greenwood – as he is far from being the only one to see impressive early-season standards slip. They fully expect the player they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-extremely-disappointed-miss-out-100m-mason-greenwood-barcelona-cheap-deal-marseille-forward/bltb0a981377b404c12" target="_blank">lured away from Old Trafford in a £27 million ($35m) transfer</a> to play a crucial role for them over the remainder of the season.</p>
