Mayor to Marseille: Don't sign Greenwood deal
The mayor of Marseille has told Olympique de Marseille not to sign Manchester United's Mason Greenwood, after sources told ESPN the clubs have reached an agreement over a permanent transfer for the 22-year-old.
"Greenwood's behaviour is unspeakable, unacceptable," Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan told French radio station RMC on Tuesday. "Hitting his wife ... I saw images that deeply shocked me. Massacring his wife in this way is unbecoming of a man and he cannot have his place on this team.
"The values of OM and Marseille are anything but that in fact. It's a shame. I will ask [Marseille president] Pablo Longoria not to recruit Greenwood. I don't want my club to be covered with the shame of someone who hits his wife."
Greenwood is a cunt, but it's not really the business of the Mayor what players a football team signs, is it?
-3I would say it is, it can be a huge part of the city's culture
