Christophe Dugarry condemns Mason Greenwood after Marseille defeat
Former France forward Christophe Dugarry has fiercely criticised Mason Greenwood following Marseille’s 3-0 defeat to Nantes, questioning the attacker’s attitude and commitment.
The 24-year-old produced what Dugarry described as a “shameful” display during the recent Ligue 1 loss.
Marseille are currently enduring a difficult spell, having won just five of their last 12 matches.
This slump follows the departure of manager Roberto De Zerbi, leaving the team winless in their last three outings.
‘An absolute disgrace’
Speaking to French media, Dugarry did not hold back in his assessment of the former Manchester United player.
“What he did against Nantes is shameful,” Dugarry told Football365.
“He doesn’t care about anything, he has no defence, and he should be condemned, burnt at the stake.”
The 1998 World Cup winner reminded the forward of the risk the French club took by signing him after his career in England stalled.
“Everyone did everything possible to put him in the best conditions… and he mocks everyone,” Dugarry added.
Friction within the squad
The Englishman previously enjoyed a strong period of form, finishing as the division’s top scorer last season.
However, recent reports suggest teammates have grown increasingly frustrated with the one-cap international’s perceived lack of defensive effort.
Some members of the squad reportedly view the attacker as a disruptive influence during their slide down the table.
Despite boasting a record of 47 goals in 79 appearances for the club over two campaigns, his status at the Stade Velodrome is now under intense scrutiny.
