Greenwood was pictured wearing colourful Nike boots while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-mason-greenwood-wild-marseille-dressing-room-win-lyon-roberto-de-zerbi-ligue-1-summit/bltff91e9b73461d9a1" target="_blank">playing for Marseille</a> in their win over Lyon at the weekend, having previously been sponsored by the sportswear giants. But Nike have confirmed that they are not working with the ex-Manchester United forward, ending speculation that they had signed a new deal with the 22-year-old.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After being contacted by <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13868451/Mason-Greenwood-sponsored-Nike.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail </a>about Greenwood, Nike simply responded: "Mason Greenwood is not a Nike athlete."

WHAT NIKE SAID

According to the report, Greenwood was set to sign a new contract with Nike before they made the decision to drop him in February 2022, after he was arrested on charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control - which were dropped in February 2023. It is believed that he was paid no compensation for losing the deal but was owed outstanding bonus payments.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Greenwood remains a Marseille player under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi and has netted five goals in as many Ligue 1 games in 2024-25. The club <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mason-greenwood-reacts-beating-the-odds-epic-win-10-man-marseille-spirit-roberto-de-zerbi/blt1bd4828c7d2d3bfd" target="_blank">most recently beat rivals Lyon</a>, despite playing much of the match with 10 men, and now sit top of the table. Marseille will next face Strasbourg on Sunday.
