Outrageous! Manchester United abandoned player was beaten for spitting at his opponent

In the preseason in Marseille defeating Villa 3-1, there were a total of 12 yellow cards and multiple conflicts in this game. Manchester United abandoned player Greenwood caused a fight, and the friendly match turned into a friendly match.

The game started just 5 minutes, Greenwood scored the first record for Marseille, McGinn equalized the score for Villa, and Aubameyang then scored twice to help Marseille secure the victory.

The fuse of the most serious conflict appeared in the 87th minute. Greenwood felt dissatisfied after several tough rushes in a row. After completing a pass by Villa midfielder Onana, he deliberately tripped him from behind. Onana was very dissatisfied with the foul, and the two began to beat the bullshit. Greenwood ridiculed Onana.

At this moment, Villa defender Mins intervened and escalated the situation. Mins grabbed Greenwood's jersey and pulled it back and forth. Greenwood also smiled provocatively after spitting. Anger Onana joined the scuffle, and Greenwood's jersey was torn in the chaos.

In the end, Greenwood, Mins and Onana were all shown yellow cards, and Marseille coach Dezelby immediately replaced Greenwood. After the game, Greenwood shared photos of the game victory on social media, but did not mention a single word about the conflict on the field.

A sharp-eyed fan noticed that after Greenwood spitting, Onana then touched his face, as if he had been spitted by Greenwood.

This has not been confirmed by Vera or Onana himself. But if Aston Villa accused Greenwood of spitting at their players, UEFA could initiate an investigation. By the rules of the game, spitting is considered a violent act, and of course a red card foul.

Xiao Ou felt that in addition to Greenwood's personal reasons, it was wrong for the referee not to show a yellow card immediately after Greenwood's foul.

Greenwood should be shown a yellow card for a reckless foul, which may avoid Mins' revenge. As for Mins, he took an offensive approach, and the yellow card was the right punishment.

Since January 2022, Greenwood has been charged with controlling and coercive behaviors and assaults with his girlfriend, and has never played a role in Manchester United again, and has officially parted ways with Manchester United last summer.

He shined in Ligue 1 last season, scoring 24 goals and 6 assists in 34 league games, and also played twice in the French Cup and scored 1 goal. There was news that he might return to the Premier League, but the transfer ultimately failed. In the new season, he will continue to compete in the Ligue 1 with Marseille and participate in the Champions League.

There is another news worth paying attention to about Greenwood. Greenwood has not been selected for the national team since September 2020 (England vs. Iceland, which was his only appearance for England). Now, he may change the national team.

According to the BBC, Greenwood has obtained a Jamaican passport and is therefore eligible to play for his country of origin. Just the FA will transfer his registration to the FA Jamaica and he will be able to compete in the World Cup qualifiers next month against Bermuda and Trinidad and Tobago.

This change also has additional benefits for Marseille: release a "non-EU foreign aid" quota. According to the French Professional Football League regulations, if the player does not have a passport of the EU or European Economic Area member state, or the country where he is located has no affiliated agreement with the EU, he will occupy a non-European quota.

Currently, the four places in Marseille are full, namely: Greenwood, Pashao, Medina, and Murillo. Jamaican players are not subject to this quota due to the Samoa agreement, while British players have been regarded as "non-European" since Brexit.
