Marseille’s form continues to deteriorate, and Following Marseille’s resounding 3-0 loss to Monaco at the weekend, ex-France internationals Jerome Rothen and Christophe Dugarry have singled out Greenwood and head coach De Zerbi as the club’s poor run continues.

On RMC Sport, Rothen said: “Everyone is responsible.

“We got excited about Greenwood and [Pierre-Emile] Højbjerg, but they are average players. It’s up to De Zerbi to find solutions, but he hasn’t found any.”

And Dugarry called in to say: “[Medhi] Benatia (sporting director) is the one I blame the least.

“De Zerbi is the one primarily responsible. The leaders did everything they could to make him succeed.

“He was presented as the savior, but he offered nothing!”

The loss over the weekend places pressure on Marseille’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

The team’s poor show against Monaco means De Zerbi’s side have now lost four of their last five Ligue 1 games in the campaign.

Les Phocéens looked like the best-placed side to challenge Paris Saint-Germain for the league title at the start of the season but have flattered to deceive, living PSG to lift the trophy with six games to spare.

If results don’t improve soon, De Zerbi may not be in charge for next term and Greenwood could also find himself in deep trouble at his new home.,

In 17 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille, Mason Greenwood has scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists. He is currently Marseille’s top scorer in the league.
