Mason Greenwood Addresses Past Controversies in First Marseille Press Conference
It’s been a long time coming, but Mason Greenwood has finally addressed his "past" in his first press conference as a Marseille player. The 22-year-old forward was unveiled as a Marseille player on Friday, marking the end of his Manchester United chapter.
During the press conference, Greenwood was asked about his past controversies, which have dominated headlines in recent years. However, the young striker was tight-lipped, saying: "I understand the questions, I don’t want to talk about it too much or get into debates and controversies. I already spoke about it on Thursday with the supporters and I spoke about it last season. I want to move forward, I want to be part of Olympique de Marseille."
Greenwood continued: "My intention is really to concentrate on the football part. The staff and players told me about the foundation, associations and hospital visits and like the other players I will participate in these initiatives. This season I will try to play well for Marseille, at the Velodrome in front of fantastic fans. I have been waiting for this for a while and I can’t wait to play in front of this crowd. For the moment I am focused on what I have to do with my club."
Marseille president Pablo Longoria also weighed in on the situation, saying: "I respect everyone’s opinion. But I am not here to get into controversy. We are talking about the past. It is a complex and old situation. It is time to talk about the future. As president I will support Mason to help him achieve the club’s objectives. I will help him as a player and as a man. He has all the values that we want to develop in the club like all his team-mates who are here and those who will arrive."
Greenwood’s move to Marseille marks the end of a tumultuous period in his career, which has been marred by controversy and speculation. However, the young forward has now spoken about his desire to focus on his football and move forward with his new club.
