VIDEO: Ex-Man Utd forward Mason Greenwood leaves opponent chasing shadows with second strike since £27m Marseille transfer

The 22-year-old forward is embracing a fresh start in France after completing a £27 million ($34m) move away from Old Trafford. He enjoyed a productive loan spell at La Liga side Getafe last season, landing their Player of the Year award, and is making an immediate impact in his new surroundings.

Greenwood has hit the ground running in pre-season for Marseille, with his goal account being opened in friendly fixtures. His latest strike was recorded in a 3-1 victory over Augsburg, taking him to two efforts through three appearances for the Ligue 1 giants.

Greenwood had his marker chasing shadows midway through the first-half against Augsburg, as he tied the German defence in knots before shifting the ball onto his right foot and firing low into the bottom corner. Said goal earned a “perfect” billing from Marseille on social media.

The one-cap England international has signed a long-term contract at Stade Velodrome but is still seeing a future move to another European superpower speculated on. He will form part of Roberto De Zerbi’s plans when Marseille open their 2024-25 campaign with a trip to Brest on August 17.
