In the Champions League, Mason Greenwood is responding for the moment, which leads some observers to say that without his extra-sporting stories, the former Red Devils would undoubtedly be among the best players in the world in his position and would play in a top team. Walid Acherchour nevertheless has reservations on this point as he analyzed in Winamax FC.
“I prefer Mason Greenwood’s second season but last year, scoring 21 goals in very important moments, that counts. There is a difference in big matches but for me Greenwood is not Cole Palmer. I like it when he’s in the heart of the game but I’m just saying that the story of ‘if Greenwood hadn’t had his stories he would be top of the world’, I have a reservation about that. This football fiction… Now I know what Greenwood is now” explains Walid Acherchour before concluding.
“I see a glass ceiling with him but in a lot of matches, he has margin. The story of important matches or not, already if Greenwood makes you win the small matches against the low blocks thanks to Greenwood, OM should be in their objectives at the end of the season and that’s already not bad” said the consultant, not 100% convinced that with a less tumultuous past, the English striker would have been destined for big clubs and would have tickled the best players in the world. The fact remains that it is for the acts of violence against his wife to which he was the subject that Manchester United separated from Mason Greenwood. Proof that this episode marked a real turning point in his career.
