Revealed: Why Mason Greenwood has irritated Roberto De Zerbi and could be benched again by 'increasingly impatient' Marseille boss

Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain

Marseille

<p>Greenwood was not in the starting XI for Marseille's 1-0 loss to Lens on Saturday, but he did come on in the second half. However, the 23-year-old may be among the substitutes again next time out as <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/ligue-1/om-luis-henrique-et-greenwood-un-manque-d-implication-qui-derange_AV-202503100700.html" target="_blank">RMC Sport</a> claim De Zerbi, his staff, and club figureheads are growing tired of his 'nonchalance,' 'attitude' and 'lack of effort'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Greenwood is by far and away Marseille's top scorer with 15 goals in Ligue 1 this season, more than double Luis Henrique's tally (seven). But the fact that De Zerbi is willing to drop him again shows the Italian wants more from the ex-Manchester United star, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mason-greenwood-breaks-silence-controversy-surrounding-transfer-marseille-from-man-utd/blt02993b4295c0fb12" target="_blank">joined the French giants last summer</a>. It remains to be seen how Greenwood will respond to this, especially amid <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/key-date-set-man-utd-mason-greenwood-cash-boost-increasingly-likely-transfer-prediction-marseille/blt0757c2ecb26dc45a" target="_blank">eye-catching transfer links</a> elsewhere.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report adds that there is a 'huge gap' between Greenwood's contribution during Marseille games and his potential. De Zerbi's decision to bench him is said to be a desire to 'prick his pride', with Marseille set to be very attentive to how he responds to this development.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Second-placed Marseille are away to Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday. Many will eagerly await whether or not Greenwood still start in that crucial clash.</p>
