Mason Greenwood has detailed his goalscoring mindset, posing a significant threat to Newcastle United ahead of their crucial Champions League clash.
Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, now a permanent Marseille player, has warned Newcastle United’s defence about his two-footed scoring threat and mental preparation ahead of their Champions League clash on Tuesday night.
According to a report from The Chronicle Live, former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is set to pose the biggest threat to Newcastle United’s hopes of another Champions League win when they take on Marseille on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old winger has been rebuilding his career after his controversial spell at Old Trafford, making a permanent move to the French side in the summer of 2024.
The transfer earned Man Utd a fee of £26.7million, plus a sell-on clause which grants them half of any future fee.
Greenwood comes into the match in top form, having scored twice in a 5-1 away win against Nice on Friday night. He sent a clear threat to Newcastle’s defence in a rare interview with Ligue 1 Plus, detailing his preparation.
On his use of visualisation, he said: “The night before a game, I’m in bed and you’re just visualising things in your head, moments on the pitch.
And when I go out to warm up on the pitch, I like to visualise, maybe if I’m in certain situations I’ll do this or do that, so when it comes to it it’s second nature really, I can just do it straight away.”
He also warned the defence about his two-footed ability: “When you’ve got both feet, the defender sometimes likes to show you one way on to your weaker side or on to another side, which I like, because if he’s showing me or wants to push me, I’ll take the opportunity because I can shoot on the right side.
Or if he wants to show me to the left, I can take the opportunity on the left.”
