Marseille chief slams fake news that former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain stars REFUSED to play alongside Mason Greenwood due to ex-Man Utd star's attitude issues

Ligue 1

Marseille

Rennes

<p>Benatia has furiously denied reports that Greenwood is at the centre of a row within Marseille, with reports having suggested that two senior players demanded he be removed from the starting XI <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marseille-problems-continue-as-mason-greenwood-and-luis-henrique-accused-of-ignoring-advice-from-team-mates-and-annoyance-grows-over-amateurish-attitude-within-the-squad/blt33978915a3f49cd9" target="_blank">amid reports questioning his attitude</a>. The former England international has scored just once in his last five outings, and the club were recently thumped 3-0 by Monaco. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A recent report claimed that former Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and ex-PSG star Adrien Rabiot have refused to play alongside the Manchester United loanee as well as Luis Henrique. Now, though, Benatia has strenuously denied the claims, insisting that the midfielders are professionals who have no issues with Greenwood.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Benatia told La Provence via the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14627499/Marseille-Tottenham-Mason-Greenwood-Man-United.html" target="_blank">Mail</a>: "Can you imagine? He didn’t come to see me. And what’s more, do you think I need a player to tell me that?</p><p>"Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is one of the most professional in the locker room, a guy who only wants to unite and carry everyone along with him, like Rabiot.</p><p>"Today, Adri is dying inside, he only wants one thing: to reach the Champions League. These two are truly two examples, and at no point did they come to see me to dismiss Luis Henrique or Greenwood. The people who say that don't want the best for OM."</p>

WHAT BENATIA SAID

<p>Marseille play Montpellier on Saturday evening. They are currently third in Ligue 1, one point behind second-placed Monaco.</p>
