Marseille mayor Benoit Payan has led a protest against local top football club. Olympique Marseille’s move to sign Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood. Saying it was against the Vogue label.
Payan is a politician from the Socialist Party, a center-left to ultra-left party. Which is therefore very focused on rights, freedoms, ethnic diversity and feminism. UFABET
It would be extremely unprincipled for ‘OM’ to take a striker who once beat up his girlfriend to the point of bloodshed. Causing a scandal that would rock the whole of England. Even if the criminal case was later dismissed.
Because even the women’s team of his own club did not allow them to use the same training center until last season. When they were loaned to Getafe in La Liga, Spain.
Therefore, it is highly inappropriate for OM to spend €30 million (£26.7 million) to acquire a 22-year-old striker with a history of tarnishing his reputation.
With the left-wing alliance winning the French parliamentary elections. Vogue is urging voters to oppose the Greenwood deal.
“I don’t want to have our club tarnished – it’s unacceptable.” he told RMC Sport.
“Greenwood’s behavior is beyond words, completely unacceptable.”
“That guy beat his wife… I saw the pictures on social media and I was shocked.”
“ Hitting your own wife like that is considered a bad man. And I believe that he has no place in our team either. ”
Payan’s next move is to pressure Marseille president Pablo Longoria to drop talks with Greenwood immediately.
The former Carrington academy gem has become a player no one wants to keep. With even United’s new board summoning him to their headquarters on Monday (local time) to give him a brief notice of his departure. Before his contract expires in June 2025.
