Mason Greenwood's transfer from Manchester United to Marseille for £26.6m in August 2023 has sparked controversy due to his past legal issues, including serious charges that were dropped earlier this year. Despite public backlash, particularly from Marseille's mayor, club president Pablo Longoria expressed no regrets over the signing, stating they reviewed all relevant information before making the decision. Greenwood has quickly proven his worth on the pitch, scoring five goals in his first three matches for the club. Longoria emphasized that the criticisms have only reinforced their stance and that discussions about Greenwood's talent were positive from the beginning. Furthermore, while England's caretaker manager has excluded Greenwood from national team consideration, Longoria remains focused on the player's contributions at Marseille. Overall, the club appears satisfied with their controversial marquee signing despite external pressures.
