A former Manchester United reject leads the Ligue 1 scoring chart: 24-year-old Greenwood scores the winner & has 11 goals and 3 assists in 15 Ligue 1 matches.

In the early hours of December 15th, during the 16th round of Ligue 1, a connection between former Premier League players saw Højbjerg assist Greenwood for the winning goal, a volley that once again showcased his exceptional striking ability, helping Marseille secure a 1-0 home victory over strong opponents Monaco. Currently, the team ranks third in Ligue 1.

Greenwood, once discarded by Manchester United, is now 24 years old, in his prime playing years. He is a rare ambidextrous player, primarily a right winger but also capable of playing as a center forward or second striker. Transfermarkt values him at 40 million euros. Last season, he scored 21 goals and provided 5 assists in 34 Ligue 1 matches, and this season he continues his strong form with 11 goals and 3 assists in 15 matches.

Since last season,Greenwood has been involved in 40 Ligue 1 goals (goals + assists), ranking sixth among all top five European leagues, only behindHarry Kane with 56 direct goal involvements, Salah and Mbappé each with 54, Haaland with 45, and Aurélien Tchouaméni with 41..

Although Greenwood was the Ligue 1 second top scorer last season, his goal tally matched that of the Golden Boot winner, Dembélé. Currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring chart this season, Greenwood is a strong contender for the Golden Boot. Manchester United did not give up just any player, but one of the strongest shooters in recent years and a genuine Red Devil prince. Every time Greenwood displays his superb finishing in matches, Manchester United fans can’t help but sigh with regret—it’s truly a pity…
