The broader perspective

Greenwood had a successful loan period at Getafe last season, where he won their Player of the Year accolade. He is now making a favourable impact in French football, despite facing initial resistance to his transfer. The 22-year-old scored goals during the pre-season matches.

The same form has been maintained in competitive matches, as he scored two goals in his first competitive appearance for Marseille. Greenwood began the scoring in a resounding 5-1 victory against Brest, after successfully converting a penalty kick. His endeavours resulted in him receiving his first Man of the Match accolade.

L’Equipe, renowned for delivering rigorous post-match evaluations, expressed approval of Greenwood’s performance. He has received a noteworthy rating of eight, which was only achieved by two other players – Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont and Rennes forward Amine Gouiri – on matchday one. As a result, the Englishman was included in the French publication’s team of the week.
