VIDEO: Who wins? Mason Greenwood faces Neal Maupay in finishing challenge - with Marseille’s former Premier League goal-getters being put to the test

Ex-Manchester United winger Greenwood completed a permanent transfer to Stade Velodrome in the summer of 2024. His debut campaign in French football delivered a career-best return of 22 goals and Champions League qualification.

He was joined at Marseille by Maupay when the 28-year-old striker completed a loan move from Everton in the same transfer window. The charismatic frontman found the target on just four occasions through 24 appearances for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.

Maupay is, however, a proven goal-getter and fancied his chances when lining up against Greenwood in a training ground competition. Both men were charged with the task of scoring a “power” shot, a curling effort from the edge of the box and a penalty.

In the end, bragging rights were shared as Greenwood and Maupay converted two efforts apiece - with the latter drawing level as he dinked a Panenka penalty beyond Dutch goalkeeper Jeffrey De Lange.

It remains to be seen whether Greenwood and Maupay find themselves in the same squad next season. There has been plenty of speculation to suggest that Greenwood could be lured away from Marseille by a big-money offer from one of several European heavyweights.
