- 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 United forward during the altercation.
Following an impressive debut campaign in Ligue 1 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.
