Overview
- L’Equipe reporting relayed by UK outlets says Marseille fined Greenwood after he ignored coaching instructions in training and skipped club-mandated French lessons.
- Sporting director Mehdi Benatia’s relationship with Greenwood has broken down, with the pair reportedly ignoring each other during daily club life.
- Staff flagged further friction over routine recovery steps, with reports that Greenwood refused massages and cold baths and clashed at times with teammates including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
- Head coach Habib Beye publicly downplayed talk of a fallout, saying recent selection calls followed a knock sustained against Lille and that he would not risk the player.
- Marseille see a departure as likely but not simple, with Manchester United retaining a large sell-on share that may be around 40%, Premier League interest viewed as unlikely, and Serie A and La Liga seen as possible destinations despite Greenwood’s strong OM record of 47 goals and 16 assists in 79 games.
