Roberto De Zerbi performs Mason Greenwood U-turn after seeing ex-Man Utd star slip 'far from his standards' as Marseille boss reacts to his match-winning display against Nantes

<p>Greenwood had a disappointing outing in Le Classique as Marseille went down 3-0 against Paris Saint-Germain, and was heavily criticised by his manager. However, both Marseille and Greenwood regained their form quickly as they registered a 2-1 win over Nantes in a Ligue 1 clash at the weekend, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marseille-mason-greenwood-shakes-off-psg-disaster-ex-man-utd-man-bags-winning-goal-nantes-ligue-1/blt3c19ce1ede9fb41d" target="_blank">the former Manchester United star scoring the winner</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After the nightmare outing against the reigning champions which saw Greenwood subbed off at halftime, De Zerbi slammed the winger as he claimed he "did not like" the way he played. However, the Nantes clash completely changed the head coach's perception as he labelled Greenwood a "great guy" after the game.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters, the former Brighton boss said: "First of all, he's a great guy. He's very committed and always gives everything he has. He's a very strong player and he makes the difference for OM. I was surprised by Greenwood last week because he didn't play well (in a 3-0 loss to PSG). He was far from his standards. Tonight, I wasn't surprised by Greenwood."</p>

WHAT ROBERTO DE ZERBI SAID

<p>The 23-year-old, who now has seven goals in 10 outings in the 2024-25 campaign, will next be seen in action for Marseille on Friday as they take on Auxerre in another Ligue 1 clash.</p>
