Marseille fans put pressure on Greenwood

Greenwood has not satisfied Marseille fans.

Greenwood shone brightly with a double in the 8th and 67th minutes, contributing to the home team's victory over Montpellier. The remaining scorers for Marseille were Adrien Rabiot, Rowe and an own goal by Bille.

However, even as he shined, Greenwood received mixed reactions from French fans. Before the match against Montpellier, a banner was unfurled in the north stand of the Velodrome stadium, where Marseille fans called on Greenwood to work harder. The banner was also aimed at his teammate, Luis Henrique, and read: "Greenwood, Henrique, try harder!!!"

Many French football experts also underestimated Greenwood's performance. Former midfielder Jerome Rothen said: "We had high expectations for Greenwood and Hojbjerg, but they are just average players."

Greenwood has scored 18 goals in Ligue 1 this season, leading the club's scoring charts. Despite being Marseille's mainstay in attack, Greenwood has been criticised for his attitude in recent weeks.

At one point, the former MU star was dropped from the first team by coach Roberto De Zerbi. Recently, Greenwood was given a chance to return but has yet to impress the coaching staff. French media reported that De Zerbi was not satisfied with the player's playing intensity.

"Greenwood is a natural talent," said De Zerbi. "I am here to help him become more complete. When he needs comfort, I am ready to support him. And when he needs to be pushed or motivated, I will do that too."

The squad revived their careers after leaving Man Utd De Gea, Greenwood and Scott McTominay are all in good form after leaving the "Theatre of Dreams".
