Mason Greenwood was slammed by the French media after his "nonchalant" display for Marseille in their 3-0 loss against AS Monaco on Saturday.

Marseille dropped to third in the Ligue 1 table after they suffered their fourth loss in their last five league matches on Saturday. Former Liverpool star Takumi Minamino opened the scoring for Monaco in the 34th minute before Breel Embolo doubled their lead just minutes before the hour mark. Ex-Chelsea midfielder Denis Zakaria then scored the final goal of the match in the 82nd minute from the penalty spot to complete his team's 3-0 win in front of a happy Stade Louis II crowd.

Greenwood, who has impressed since joining Marseille from Manchester United last summer, had a night to forget as he lost the ball 18 times and looked rattled by Monaco's aggressive game plan.

The 23-year-old could leave the Ligue 1 side in the summer as he has reportedly attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, with a €90 million (£76.5m/$100m) offer now on the table for the winger ahead of the summer window. For now, though he will remain focused on his duties at Marseille, with De Zerbi's side set to return to action on April 19 when they face Montpellier in another crucial Ligue 1 clash.
