Mason Greenwood made a triumphant return to the scoresheet as Marseille dominated Montpellier with a resounding 5-0 victory.
The young striker, who transferred to the French club from Manchester United for a hefty £30 million during the summer, seems to have regained his form after a brief spell of silence in front of goal.
Early Success and Temporary Setbacks
Since joining Marseille, Greenwood started off strong, netting five goals in his first three appearances.
However, he hit a bit of a rough patch, going four games without either a goal or an assist.
Fans were eagerly anticipating his comeback, and he didn’t disappoint, delivering a stunning performance against Montpellier.
A Stellar Goal That Changed the Game
In an impressive display of skill, Greenwood ended his goal drought with a fantastic strike just before the hour mark.
With his team already leading 3-0, he skillfully maneuvered past a defender using a series of step-overs before unleashing a powerful shot that found the back of the net.
His teammates Elye Wahi, Amine Harit, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Luis Henrique also contributed to the scoreline, helping Marseille maintain their position in third place in the league standings.
Aiming for the National Team
Greenwood’s recent goal comes at a crucial time as he reportedly seeks to meet with Thomas Tuchel and the Football Association.
He’s eager to discuss a potential return to the England national team and is determined to make an impact ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
However, he has indicated that if England doesn’t open its doors to him, he’s willing to switch his allegiance to Jamaica, which he can do through his paternal grandparents.
Looking Towards the Future
A source close to Greenwood shared with The Sun, “Mason is aware that his chances of playing for England again are slim, but he wants to explore his options now that Tuchel is in charge.”
The striker is committed to playing at the highest level, and making it to the World Cup is a top priority.
Gareth Southgate, the England manager, has never completely ruled out Greenwood’s return, but he has acknowledged that the player’s legal situation complicates matters.
Having earned just one cap for England, which came in a match against Iceland in September 2020, Greenwood’s international career has faced challenges.
After an off-field incident led to his early departure from the national team camp alongside Phil Foden, he has been striving to regain his standing.
As he looks to the future, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this chapter in his career unfolds.
