- Gomes presented as new مرسيليا player
- Explained how Greenwood convinced him to join the club
- Duo came through the Man Utd youth ranks together
Gomes was presented as a Marseille player on Friday and the English international spoke about Greenwood, calling him his “little brother” and explaining how the forward helped him reach the decision of joining him at the Stade Velodrome. Gomes has made the switch from ليل, joining as a free agent upon the expiry of his contract.
Both Gomes and Greenwood were part of the Manchester متحد youth academy, with the former making his first team debut in 2017. Greenwood made his first appearance for the senior team in 2019, with the duo a part of the Red Devils’ first-team in the 2019-20 season. Over five years after last sharing a dressing room together, the England-born duo will once again play together, this time around in الدوري الفرنسي 1 at Marseille.
Speaking at his first press conference as a Marseille player on Friday, Gomes said: “I’ve spoken to Mason on the phone several times. He’s a bit like a little brother to me. We met when we were eight, when we played together at the youth level. Starting so young and ending up at a professional club together is rare and beautiful… I can’t wait to share these moments with him in Marseille.”u0026nbsp;
The 24-year-old midfielder will be aiming to hit the ground running when he features for Les Phoceens in their first summer friendly on July 21 against Belgian second-tier side Olympic Charleroi.
