Mason Greenwood's struggles continue in damaging Marseille defeat to Reims as 'non-existent' ex-Man Utd forward is handed brutally low rating by L'Equipe

Marseille suffered their fourth defeat in their last five Ligue 1 matches as they went down 3-1 to Reims on Saturday. Keito Nakamura, Mamadou Diakhon and Valentin Atangana were on target for the hosts while Valentin Rongier scored the consolation goal for Robert De Zerbi's side.

De Zerbi restored Greenwood to his starting line-up after two games on the bench having claimed he 'adores' the ex-Manchester United star. The one-cap England international, however, failed to repay his manager's faith as he delivered yet another underwhelming performance. French publication L'Equipe, who are notoriously tough with their player ratings, handed the 'non-existent' Greenwood a measly score of 2/10. This is the second time in recent weeks he has been slapped with such a low figure, after an anonymous showing off the bench against Lens.

Greenwood has arguably been Marseille's best player this season, scoring 16 goals and bagging three assists in 29 matches across all competitions. He had a brilliant start to his new journey with the club last year, but in recent weeks the player has endured a major downturn in form. He has scored only one goal in his last five Ligue 1 appearances.

The 23-year-old will be back in action for the French giants on April 6 as they take on Toulouse in a crucial Ligue 1 clash, having slipped to third in the table.
