Greenwood & Ménès: Football’s Unexpected Clash

Mason Greenwood shone during this first part of the season in Ligue 1 and for Pierre Ménès, there is no shame in saying that the OM player is the best striker in the French championship currently.
Author of 15 goals and 4 assists in all competitions (11 goals, 3 assists in Ligue 1), Mason Greenwood had a simply perfect first part of the season with Olympique de Marseille. The 24-year-old English striker confirms his rise to strength, after a successful season in 2024-2025. The former Manchester United player looks stronger than ever. More connected to the rest of the team, more altruistic and less stingy with his efforts, Mason Greenwood seduced Pierre Ménès.

The former Canal+ journalist published his typical team for the first part of the season in Ligue 1 on his YouTube channel. And according to him, it is impossible to choose any player other than Mason Greenwood for the right winger position as the OM striker dominates the French championship in his eyes. “On the right (of the typical team) it’s obviously Mason Greenwood. He still scores as many goals and what’s more, he has progressed in his participation in the game, in his personal investment, in his defensive withdrawal. We see him a lot more than last season, when he tended to disappear from traffic for long minutes” explains the journalist before concluding.

Mason Greenwood best striker in Ligue 1?

“Its eclipse periods are much less. He is certainly the best striker of this first part of the season in Ligue 1” analyzed Pierre Ménès, totally charmed by the performances of Mason Greenwood during this first part of the season. An analysis certainly shared by OM supporters as well as Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach managed to take the English striker to a new level and this is undoubtedly one of his finest achievements in Provence so far. On the Marseille side, we now hope that Greenwood will maintain this exceptional level for as long as possible in order to achieve the club’s objectives in Ligue 1 but also in the Champions League.
