On July 19, according to British media outlet The Mail, Marseille fans are extremely angry about the signing of Greenwood. They have posted a large number of discontented comments online, describing the move as “disgusting” and “immoral,” and saying they have never been so ashamed to support the club.
Marseille signed the 22-year-old Greenwood from Manchester United for £27 million plus an additional £3.2 million in add-ons. Last season, he was loaned out to Getafe where he scored ten goals and provided six assists, being named the best player of the season for Getafe.
In October 2022, Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, abuse, and controlling and coercive behavior. However, the charges and case were dropped in February 2023 due to a key witness withdrawing. The forward denies any wrongdoing.
Notably, Marseille fans launched the “GreenwoodNotWelcome” campaign this month. One fan commented on social media: “I have never been so ashamed to support this club. It is disgusting to see this person in our jersey, to see him defended and even supported by some.”
