PSG forward Ousmane Dembele has beaten team-mate Vitinha and Marseille winger Mason Greenwood to be crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Year‚ despite his severe lack of game time in the division. Dembele‚ who won the Ballon d'Or last year‚ has only started nine games in the French top flight this campaign‚ scoring 10 goals and providing six assists‚ with the attacker saving his best performances for the Champions League. In spite of his low numbers‚ the 28-year-old still did enough in the eyes of his colleagues to retain his title at the UNFP Trophies ceremony in Paris on Monday evening.
De Zerbi divided opinion while at Marseille‚ most notably for his public backing of Mason Greenwood. Greenwood had joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 from Manchester United‚ two years after he was arrested on suspicion of rape‚ assault‚ and coercive and controlling behaviour. The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges the following year‚ citing the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light. He denied all charges. De Zerbi branded him a 'good guy' while at Marseille‚ before insisting he 'never wanted to downplay the issue of violence against women' after a backlash from fans when he joined Spurs.
Greenwood has enjoyed a productive season with 15 goals in Ligue 1 but he has only found the net once in his last nine games. Marseille are now seventh‚ four points off the Champions League spots with two games remaining‚ while most of their rivals have played a match fewer. They were fourth - the position they need - when Roberto De Zerbi left in February.
Manchester United's summer transfer kitty could be boosted with the sell-on clause from one of their former players. The Red Devils are set to invest heavily in the off-season as they look to bolster their squad ahead of a likely return to the Champions League in 2026-27. And their funds are reportedly set to increase thanks to the uncertain future of Mason Greenwood at Marseille.
New Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has insisted he 'never wanted to downplay the issue of violence against women' after a backlash from fans over his previous comments regarding Mason Greenwood. In his first club interview since his appointment earlier this week‚ De Zerbi was invited to respond to fans who have concerns over comments he made while Marseille boss when coaching Greenwood. Greenwood had joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 from Manchester United‚ two years after he was arrested on suspicion of rape‚ assault‚ and coercive and controlling behaviour.
Spurs have been searching for their fourth head coach in 295 days after Igor Tudor's exit and De Zerbi is the top candidate amid a series of talks between the two parties. The Italian‚ 46‚ has drawn objections from some sections of supporters for his role in rebuilding Mason Greenwood 's reputation at Marseille and is also thought to be keen to wait until the summer‚ but there appears to be no time to waste. If appointed‚ the former Brighton boss will have seven games to save his new side from a disastrous relegation to the Championship before looking to kick on in the top flight next season.
Marseille's sporting director was reportedly keen to offload Mason Greenwood last summer amid concerns over his commitment and work rate‚ a new report has claimed. Former Man United forward Greenwood had finished as the joint top scorer in Ligue 1 last season alongside PSG's Ousmane Dembele‚ with the forwards netting 21 goals. This was aided by Greenwood's late season form‚ where he scored six goals in eight matches to help Marseille qualify for the Champions League.
Roberto De Zerbi has heaped praise on Mason Greenwood in a gushing speech about the Marseille star‚ claiming his player has become 'world-class' player after building on 'what his mother and father taught him'. The former Manchester United forward‚ 24‚ left Old Trafford under controversial circumstances in the summer of 2024 but has since revived his career under De Zerbi‚ proving an integral part of his first team. Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and charged with attempted rape‚ controlling and coercive behaviour and assault while playing at United‚ which led to him being banished from the squad and dropped by England's national team.
