Former Red Devils star Mason Greenwood is strutting his stuff in France with Marseille
Manchester United academy graduate Mason Greenwood has been named Ligue 1 Player of the Month for December, a recognition of his stellar performances for Marseille.
The 23-year-old forward, who joined Les Phocéens in the summer, has become a vital figure in the French side's attack, contributing significantly to their recent improvement.
Greenwood's crowned December Player of the Month
The UNFP, the French players' union, announced Greenwood as the winner of the December award, edging out Olympique Lyonnais' Rayan Cherki and Lille's Jonathan David.
Greenwood's performances included two crucial goals in Ligue 1 victories over Monaco (2-1) and Saint-Etienne (2-0) and another strike in Marseille's commanding 4-0 Coupe de France triumph, also against Les Verts.
Greenwood's influence extends beyond scoring; his ability to create opportunities was on full display in Marseille's recent 2-1 victory over Rennes.
The England international scored the equaliser before setting up Adrien Rabiot's match-winning goal. His tally now stands at 11 Ligue 1 goals, putting him level with Jonathan David at the top of the scoring charts, while his 14 goal contributions are unmatched in the league.
Contrasting fortunes at Old Trafford
While Greenwood flourishes in France, his former club Manchester United struggles to find consistency in front of goal.
The combined goal contributions of United's forwards-Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Højlund, and Alejandro Garnacho-total just 15 in the Premier League, barely surpassing Greenwood's individual tally.
Greenwood's success at Marseille has reignited conversations about his talent and potential, raising questions about why he was allowed to leave Old Trafford.
As he continues to thrive in Ligue 1, the 23-year-old forward's resurgence will continue to leave Manchester United fans pondering if his exit from the club was the right decision.
