Getty/GOALTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite criticism from some Marseille fans over signing Greenwood - which stemmed from the one-time England international previously being accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour, before all charges were dropped - De Zerbi has stuck by the 22-year-old. Before Greenwood signed, he said: “What I can say is that once a player signs with Marseille, all the players, he becomes like a son to me and I will protect him from anyone. If I have to pull their ears or put him against the wall I will — but in front of people, I will defend him like a son.”
The Athletic says that De Zerbi's words 'resonated' with the former Getafe loanee, who later gave his approval for the transfer to Marseille.

Ahead of making his full debut with Marseille when the Ligue 1 season rolls round next month, Greenwood could feature in their pre-season friendlies against SC Toulon, Pau, Sunderland and Augsburg in the coming weeks.
