“First of all, it is not something on which I work in the moment, at a time when it is more complicated. I work all season to help players, “said Brighton ex-boss.
“You should also realize that for two years in his career, Mason did not play. He is very young (23 years old), and being out of action for two years is complicated.
“Last year, he played for a club – Getafe – who was fighting for survival.”
De Zerbi also revealed that he was working alongside Greenwood’s father to help his development – but insisted on the attacker “wastes a little of his potential”.
“He is an introverted person, a little closed, but he has a wonderful family around him, an extraordinary father with whom I worked a lot, he helped me a lot to manage it, with the help of Mehdi Benatia.
“It is true that sometimes he gives us the impression that he can score three or four goals per game, and sometimes also that he is a bit of his potential and value.
“So how can we help him?” Well sometimes, cuddling him, taking care of him and sometimes also being more difficult for him to continue his progression.
“This is the main objective that I have with all my players, beyond all those we can have with the club, because if I make my players progress, we can achieve the club objectives faster.”
Greenwood scored a first match when he converted a penalty in eight minutes
Against Montpellier, Greenwood scored a first match when he converted a penalty to eight minutes.
The 23 -year -old then scored his second in the 67th minute, winning his count in Ligue 1 to 18 goals for the season. Only Ousmane Dembele of PSG succeeded (21).
After having emerged as one of the brightest young talents in Man United, Greenwood left the club officially last summer after his arrest in January 2022 before being accused of attempted rape, assault and control and coercive behavior.
The charges against Greenwood were abandoned by the Crown prosecution service following “withdrawal of key witnesses and new documents that have been revealed”.
He has since officially applied his international allegiance to England, for whom he made an exit, at Jamaica de Steve McClaren.
