The 23-year-old had a fast start with the French side but has slowed down over the last couple of months. Greenwood has opened up on his situation and claimed that he 'can do a lot better' despite winning Ligue 1's Player of the Month award for December.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to Telefoot, Greenwood said: "I think I can do a lot better. I started very well and then I slackened off a little bit. I hope to get back to my best level and maintain it."</p><p>When asked about his time at Marseille, he said: "Marseille has one of the best atmospheres in Europe. I had goosebumps during my first match at the Velodrome. It's exceptional. They sing for 90 minutes straight, I've never seen that before."</p>

WHAT GREENWOOD SAID

<p>Greenwood has become a fan favourite at Marseille so far this season as the England winger has scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 20 games. He is currently Ligue 1's top-scorer with one goal more than Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, and Lille's Jonathan David.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Thanks to his scintillating form at Marseille, Greenwood has been tipped to join a big club in the summer for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marseille-expected-get-double-man-utd-mason-greenwood-tipped-big-money-move-impressing-ligue-1/bltfeb5e0db5b33d554#csd827d8e0dec37eaf" target="_blank">'double what Marseille paid Manchester United'</a>. However, the 23-year-old has maintained that he wants to continue with the French side.</p><p>He added: "Stay here for many years? Of course. It's something I'd like to do, I want to win trophies here and play in the Champions League. It's a big ambition to be here, so yes."</p>
