Mason Greenwood’s impressive performance in Marseille’s recent match has caught the attention of Barcelona scouts, potentially leading to a reunion with his former Manchester United teammate, Marcus Rashford. Greenwood, who scored four goals in Marseille’s victory over Le Havre, became the first Marseille player since Jean-Pierre Papin in 1991 to achieve such a feat. Barcelona scouts were reportedly impressed by his performance.
Since his £26.6 million move from Old Trafford, the 24-year-old Greenwood has been a standout player for Marseille, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 11 appearances this season. Barcelona is reportedly considering a future transfer for Greenwood, which could have financial implications for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford, who has been on loan at Barcelona, is hopeful that his loan deal will be made permanent at the end of the season. The duo, who played together at United, are aiming to replicate their success at Camp Nou.
Despite his remarkable scoring record, Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi believes Greenwood can further improve in assisting the team when needed. De Zerbi praised Greenwood’s goal-scoring abilities but emphasized the player’s potential to become one of the best in the world.
Greenwood has attracted interest from Barcelona since his successful loan spell with Getafe, where he scored 10 goals and provided six assists. The La Liga giants have been monitoring his progress closely.
