Marseille Boss De Zerbi Questions Greenwood’s Readiness for Potential Man United Return
Football fans worldwide are closely following the latest development surrounding Mason Greenwood, as Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed the forward is considering a return to Manchester United this summer. However, De Zerbi has voiced concerns about Greenwood’s mental state, questioning whether he is truly prepared for such a move.
“Psychologically, I don’t think he’s okay. Otherwise, how could he even think about going back to the club that abandoned him at his lowest point?” De Zerbi reportedly stated.
Greenwood’s Career So Far: A Rollercoaster Journey
Greenwood’s path has been anything but smooth. Suspended by Manchester United in 2022 following serious allegations, he saw all charges dropped in February 2023.
Despite this, both the player and the club mutually agreed to part ways, leading to his loan spell at Getafe, where he impressed with 10 goals in 36 appearances. His resurgence earned him a £26.6 million permanent transfer to Marseille in July 2024.
Since arriving in Ligue 1, Greenwood has continued to showcase his talent, scoring 15 goals in 24 league matches. His Marseille debut was particularly sensational, netting twice in just 30 minutes against Brest.
Concerns Over Greenwood’s Potential Man United Comeback
Despite his stellar performances, De Zerbi is skeptical about a return to Old Trafford, believing that Greenwood must meet key conditions before even considering a move.
1. Mental Readiness – Greenwood must undergo a thorough psychological assessment to ensure he is prepared for the intense scrutiny and pressure awaiting him at Manchester United.
2. Club’s Commitment – United must provide clear assurances regarding their support for Greenwood, ensuring he doesn’t face the same circumstances that led to his initial departure.
The football world remains divided on Greenwood’s possible comeback. Some fans are eager to see him return, believing in his redemption story, while others worry about the impact on both the player and the club given the history involved.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Greenwood, De Zerbi, and Manchester United to see how this saga unfolds. Will Greenwood return to Old Trafford, or will he continue his journey elsewhere?
