Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has assured Mason Greenwood that he will be treated 'like his son' if he joins the club, despite the controversy surrounding his potential transfer from Manchester United. Greenwood, who has not played for United since his 2022 arrest on charges of attempted rape and assault—later dropped in 2023—impressed on loan at Getafe last season. Marseille is reportedly close to finalizing a £27 million deal for the 22-year-old forward, but the move has sparked significant backlash from fans and local politicians. De Zerbi has publicly defended Greenwood, emphasizing his focus on the player's football abilities rather than his past. The controversy has led to a fan campaign, #GreenwoodNotWelcome, urging the club to reconsider the transfer to avoid 'irreversible damage' to its reputation.
