Striker rejected by MU now scoring 3 goals per game

Mason Greenwood - a forward once discarded by MU, recently shone brightly for Marseille by netting 1 goal and providing 2 assists, significantly contributing to the 5-2 win against Paris FC.

Manchester United’s attack continues to disappoint after 2 rounds in the English Premier League this season, with coach Ruben Amorim’s squad having scored only 1 goal so far, which came from an own goal by the opponent. The lack of a striker capable of making a difference raises serious doubts about the "Red Devils" competing at the top. In this context, the image of a former player once rejected by MU is causing many fans to feel regretful.

In France, Mason Greenwood - a striker who left Old Trafford amid off-field controversies - is thriving in Marseille’s colors. In the latest match against Paris FC, the English forward directly influenced 3 goals, helping coach Roberto De Zerbi’s team secure a resounding 5-2 victory. Greenwood scored once, assisted twice, and became the most dangerous attacking threat.

Beyond goals and assists, Greenwood impressed with advanced stats: an xG of 1.58, 3 key passes, 2 accurate crosses, and a passing accuracy of 79% (34/43). Additionally, he showed determination in duels, winning 4 out of 9 one-on-one battles, demonstrating his all-around ability and fighting spirit. This form quickly restored the trust of Marseille supporters.

The crucial win over Paris FC relieved pressure on Marseille after a less impressive start. Notably, the duo of Aubameyang and Greenwood has become a major hope in attack, bringing confidence to De Zerbi’s squad ahead of a tough away match at Lyon in the next round.

While MU struggles to solve their scoring problems, Greenwood proves his worth in a new environment. This contrast will surely deepen the regrets of Red Devils supporters if their team continues to struggle in the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
